Veronica Ngwu, wife of the pastor of God’s Favour Ministry, Nsukka, Timothy Ngwu, has petitioned against her husband to an Enugu North Magistrates’ Court, alleging that her husband had married another man’s wife, her daughter and yet another woman.
According to Veronica, the women who her husband alleged converted to his “wives” are all members of his church.
That was even as one of the alleged wives, Calista Omeye, told the court that she actually had a baby for the pastor after having 10 babies for her real husband.
She said that it was her husband, Fidelis Omeye, who actually persuaded her to meet the pastor in the first place, as he wanted her to do the will of God through the pastor.
Calista said: “My husband was a member of the church and he introduced me to the church, because he said that the pastor had a revelation for me.”
She said that the revelation had to do the will of God, “but he later left the church, but I refused to leave the church with him.
“I have 10 children for him and we were all members of the church before he quit and I had a baby for the pastor but the baby died after some weeks.”
Calista said that it was with her husband’s consent that their daughter was given to the pastor in marriage.
She said: “It is not true that I gave out our daughter in marriage to the pastor without the consent from my husband. He was aware of everything.”
The pastor, who hails from Ihe-Owerre, Nsukka, was absent from the court as he was said to be on admission at a hospital in Enugu.
The presiding magistrate, R. I. Oruruo, adjourned hearing in the matter to September 26. [myad]
