Prophetess Begs Court To Dissolve Her marriage On Grounds of Attempted Rape

BOBOJAY August 02, 2017 0

An Agodi Customary Court on Wednesday dissolved a  15-year marriage over attempted rape.

The marriage between Nike Adenekan, a prophetess; and her pastor husband, Adekunle Adenekan, came to an end over an attempt to rape a church member.

Nike filed a divorce suit against her husband Adenekan, on the grounds of telling lies, immoral acts and threat to life.

Court’s president, Mr. Mukaila Balogun, dissolved the marriage and gave custody of the only child of the union to the petitioner.

Balogun ordered Adenekan to stop attending his wife church and  pay N3,500 as monthly allowance for the maintenance of the child.

The petitioner alleged that her husband tried to rape an 18-year-old church member who lives with her.

“My lord, there was a night my husband left me on the bed and climbed on the girl who was sleeping on the floor.
“When I caught him, my husband said he wanted to kill a mosquito on the girl’s body and pleaded with me to forgive him.
“The girl also told me that my husband, on two occasions, attempted to rape her at night when I went to church for special prayers.
“Also, a particular woman in my church told me that daddy (Adenekan) wanted her to be his concubine and threatened to stop coming to my church if daddy continues disturbing her.
“He is in the habit of lying; I never trusted him and cannot fold my hands watching him to destroy my church,” Nike told the court.

Adenekan, who was silent on the allegation of attempted rape, prayed the court to assist him intervene in the matter.
