For hobnobbing and travelling out of Nigeria with another man’s wife against her husband’s repeated warnings, the senior pastor of Jordan Ministries in Opebi, Lagos, Pastor Ndukwe Chigbo has been arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate Court.
During interrogation, it was gathered, the woman at the centre of the scandal (name withheld) confessed that she had been having an affair with the pastor for...
a long time and that they both left Nigeria together to enjoy themselves in Kenya.
But in his own statement to the police, Pastor Chigbo denied travelling with the woman at the same time. He claimed that she was the one who actually came to meet him in Kenya.
He was arraigned on charges of abducting another man’s wife.
Trouble started for the Pastor when the enraged husband, identified as Mr. Ndiomu, did not see his wife at home for some days and went to the church to enquire about her whereabouts.
He was shocked to discover that his wife and Pastor Chigbo had travelled to Kenya since November 23, for “church retreat”.
Mr. Ndiomu, who is the son of a retired army general, promptly reported the strange development to the police who in turn arrested the pastor on his return to Nigeria for wife abduction.
The husband, in his statement to police, disclosed that he had warned his wife to stop attending the church for some reasons, and wondered what made her travelled out of the country for seven days with the same pastor without his consent.
The Court however adjourned the case to enable both parties present more facts before it.
