DivorceDrama: “My pastor husband is a chronic masturbator” – Wife tells court, demands divorce

Blessing Odafe last week dragged her husband, Victor Odafe before a Agege Grade A Customary Court praying the court to dissolve their marriage.

She said she wanted a divorce from her husband who she accused of always threatening her with physical assault anytime they had an argument.

Odafe further accused her husband of not taking care of the family saying Mr. Odafe, who is a church pastor, once accused her of being responsible for his dwindling fortunes.

She said her husband was fond of calling her unprintable names and went as far as denying the paternity of their second child whose paternity he doubted on the grounds that the baby was black  in complexion while they (the parents ) are  fair.

The mother of two continued her allegation saying her husband was in the habit of watching pornographic movies which he often masturbates to.

She reportedly said, “I always warned  him to stop the bad habit, because it doesn’t portray him in good light as  a minister of God”

Victor, who claimed to be the pastor of Empowerment Church Oregun, Lagos,  denied the allegations saying Blessing is stubborn and always nags. He said he began to notice on their wedding day that his wife is abusive and needlessly aggressive.

He, however, admitted to beating his wife saying it was as a result of the frustration he “experienced as an  okada rider”.

“I had a good job when we were living in Nnewi, Anambra  State, before relocating to Lagos, but, in order to make ends meet, l became an  okada rider and got frustrated by the day,” he explained.

The court adjourned the case till November 5, 2012 for further hearing. It  advised the couple to consider reconciliation and return to give  progress report  at the next adjournment date.
