Pastor Seeks Marriage Dissolution After Wife Allegedly Attempts To Destroy His Manhood



A pastor, Matthew Olumide, on Monday prayed a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve his marriage with his wife, Oluyemisi, over her alleged attempt to destroy his manhood.


Olumide told the court that his wife had overwhelmed his life with miseries.
“Oluyemisi exposed me to public ridicule when she tore my clothes, including my underwear, and compressed my testicles.


“I spent several weeks in the hospital and when I returned, she warned me not to receive visitors if I needed my life.

“She falsely accused me of having extra marital affair with my church secretary.
Olumide told the court that his wife had ruined his ministry following her domineering attitude, adding that from more than 50 members, his congregation had dwindled to a handful.

“She does not even take care of domestic issues like preparing my food and that of the children anymore.

“I have to combine all that with evangelism when I should be resting. In fact, she has almost sniffed life out of me,’’ Olumide lamented.

In her defence, Oluyemisi said her husband and his people were always beating her.
“He had a wife before he married me, and they are still seeing each other till date.
“He even invites her to our night vigils. Olumide asked me not to work and yet, he does not take care of me,’’ she alleged.

The president of the court, Mr Ezekiel Ogundipe, asked the couple to invite their relatives to court on the next adjourned date, and adjourned the case until June 9 for further hearing.
