“I caught my husband in a hotel having sex with Evelyn Etim, a member of our church. As I speak to you, Evelyn has given birth to a baby boy and she is living in Eket with my husband.”
These were the revelations by Mrs. Idongesit Ese, wife of the founder and pastor of Kairos Rhema Embassy in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, Pastor Nsikanabasi Ese.
Mrs. Ese openly informed worshippers that her husband was not just living an adulterous life but had impregnated a female member of the church.
Though she was prevented from entering the auditorium of Kairos Rhema Embassy when she arrived at the church to make the matter public, but she stood at the church premises to tell her story, saying: “I want every man and woman who has conscience in this church to ask my husband why he is doing this to me; why would he be sleeping with a young girl who came to seek counseling and prayers from him?”
Mrs. Ese, at a point, brought out photos from her handbag and showed the church members to buttress her points, saying: “that’s when my husband; so called man of God, beat me and hit me with his car and ran away with Evelyn Etim when I caught them in the hotel.”
She also displayed a photo of a young woman whom she said was that of the alleged intruder, Evelyn Etim, saying: “I want members of the church to know why I haven’t been attending programmes in the church.
“Many people have been calling my telephone line to inform me that my husband lied to the congregation that I traveled out of the country.
“This is the moment of truth. Let the people know what has been going on in my marriage and in the church…. I believed and trusted this man with my whole life. I am still asking myself one question, is this the same man who once woke me up late in the night, stood stark naked before me, poured anointing all on his head and swore that God should destroy him and his ministry the day he sleeps with any woman other than his wife!”
Mrs. Ese said that she was pregnant for the pastor but that the baby died mysteriously in her womb two days to delivery some three years ago. [myad]
