Top Nollywood actor-cum-producer, Emeka Ike, has accused Rev.
Chris Okotie of Household of God Church, in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, as being
behind the ongoing crisis in his family.
The actor and his wife of over ten years, Suzanne, are currently
in court – with the latter calling for the dissolution of the union, but Emeka
is pleading otherwise and pledging his continuous love for the woman.
According to the star actor, in spite of all his efforts to get
the woman to rescind her decision and withdraw the divorce case, Okotie is
allegedly pushing her on.
He revealed that the pastor got his wife a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, SAN, to pursue her case, gave her N500,000 for her mother’s burial and
even bought her a Blackberry Passport phone!
Emeka said “Yes, ‘Pastor Chris Okotie just absolved (sic) my
wife into his church without making any effort to get in touch with me. If as a
pastor your church member is having issues with her husband, and you failed to
do anything to resolve it, what kind of pastor are you? When I called him, he
refused to pick my call. He also failed to react to a text message I sent to
him. Is that a man of God? Even, if you have a police case, they will make
effort to hear from you before taking a position, not to talk of the church…I
want the whole world to know because there is a lot of misinformation out
there. The lawyer which Okotie hired for my wife is also frustrating every
attempt I make to resolve the matter peacefully.”
Okotie’s media consultant, Mr. Ladi Ayodeji, however, denied
knowledge of the development.
He said, “This is news to me…This is completely news to me, but
I will bring it to the attention to the pastor and I will get back to you.”
