Helen, the wife of Ayo Oritsejafor, the Nigerian
pastor, has dismissed viral claims that they have parted ways.
Oritsejafor is the founding and senior pastor of Word of
Life Bible Church, located in Warri, Delta state.
He is also a former national president of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).
Rumours recently swirled that the cleric and his wife ended their marriage of 25 years over infidelity.
It was also rumored that Helen had moved out of their
matrimonial home.
But in a Facebook post on
Monday, Helen described the reports as “fake, malicious, and unthinkable”.
“Fam, my attention has been drawn to the fake and malicious
news making rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against
my character and that of my family. It’s totally unbelievable, reprehensible
and unthinkable and it’s important that I make the facts clear,” she wrote.
“I am a wife, a
mother and a woman of God, and I uphold the tenets of my Christian faith and
marriage. My family and home is the most important part of my life.
“I therefore appeal to everyone to put our interest and that
of our lovely kids, above the need to profit from this baseless endeavor. My
Husband and I are not divorced, unless people get divorced on social media and
I have never been unfaithful to my husband, whom I love very dearly.”
Helen said she has informed her lawyers to take legal action
against those who circulated the divorce rumours.
“These are works of the devil and his agents to dent my
character and good works. Over the years, I have committed my time and
resources towards reaching out to the needy, providing support to widows and
giving scholarships to orphans,” she added.
“I have also taught
and mentored a lot of young women on the principles of building and living
happily with their spouses through my various platforms both on and offline. I
cannot go against my own beliefs.
“I plead with the general public to give my family the
privacy it needs and disregard cheap attempts to dent my image. In retrospect
to the fake news, I have briefed my lawyers and all necessary legal actions are
being taken. Thank you all and stay blessed.”
Opeyemi Falegan, the
politician and brother to Helen, had also debunked the rumour.
