The wife of clergyman and former president of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr Helen Oritsejafor, has broken her silence over her marital life and the rumour peddling around that they have divorced.
Recall that a few days ago, a blogger had shared that the clergyman and his wife are currently separated.
The news stated that the wife has been abusive towards the man and has been forced to move away from her for now.
Helen who has been noticeably absent from major church activities said the news of separation are all false. She said she is still with her husband and that the news is a result of evildoers.
She wasn’t in attendance when the clergyman celebrated his 50th year anniversary as a minister of God, fueling the marital crisis claim. She also pleaded that the public should give their family all the privacy they will need for them to resolve the rumour.
Helen in a lengthy post said, “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. 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.
“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.
“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.
“Don’t forget that life is a seed. To carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but punishable under the law of the land.
“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.”
