Married Pastor Sleeps With Church Members




An estranged housewife, Abosede Fasina, has told an Agege Grade 'A' Customary Court sitting in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, that she caught her divorce seeking husband, Pastor Segun Fasina, having sex with a church member who had come for deliverance on their matrimonial bed.

Abosede disclosed this while responding to a divorce suit instituted against her by her 35-year-old husband, Pastor Fasina, who is seeking the dissolution of their four-year old marriage over his wife's alleged wayward life.

The 30-year old house wife said the pastor is adulterous and that she once caught him having sex with a church member on their matrimonial bed.

"My husband is adulterous. He counsels his church members at home, and I discovered that most of them are ladies. One day he was inside the room counselling a woman when I dashed in.

"But to my surprise, my husband and the woman were both naked in our bed. When I confronted him, he beat me and threw me out of the house.

"When I reported the case to his father, he said I should not disturb his son.

She however told the court that despite Pastor Fashina's adulterous lifestyle, she is still in love with him.

Her husband, Pastor Fasina, had earlier told the court that his wife, Abosede, had lost her sense of dignity, and was now smoking and drinking alcohol.

The pastor who resides at 4, Moses St., Alagba, Orile-Agege, also said that his wife was a gossip and troublesome.

According to him,"Abosede possesses all the bad habits one can think of. She was accused of stealing a phone in our house. I believed she actually stole it because of her behaviour. She goes to other co-tenants' apartments to gossip. And whenever there is any fight in the house, my wife's name is always mentioned.

"As a pastor, I have prayed for her deliverance from the evil acts but my effort was in vain. Since the marriage is childless, we owe ourselves nothing. So, I want the court to dissolve the union," he pleaded.

The Court President, Joseph Adewusi, after listening to both parties, told the couple to maintain the peace and adjourned the case till 10 May for judgment.
