Months
after the separation of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the founder of Christ
Embassy Church and his wife Pastor Anita, the estranged couple have shared their two children.
According to2015/03/01/oyakhilomes-saga-pastor-chris-anita-reportedly-share-their-two-children/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”> Dailypost, Sharon, the eldest, prefers Pastor Chris, Charlene is presently with Anita.
Anita had last year April approached a London court, seeking a divorce on the grounds of adultery among several allegations.
The
suit, number FDI 4001650, was filed on her behalf by Attwaters Jameson
Hill Solicitors on April 9, 2014 at the Divorce Section A, Central
Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, United Kingdom.
Pastor Chris was served the divorce letters in his hotel room during one of his visits to the UK.
Efforts to reach the camp of Pastor Chris last night proved abortive.

Pastor
Chris Oyakhilome, had then denied the allegations leveled against him
by Anita and even threatened to sue media houses for damaging his name
and Church.
Last
September, a statement by his counsel, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN), described
the allegation as “wicked and malicious”, and an attempt to bring Pastor
Chris “to public opprobrium and ridicule.”
Pinheiro said the
adultery allegation “currently circulating in the media was nothing but a
complete distortion of facts in the pending proceedings in the United
Kingdom”.
The
lawyer warned media establishments to verify the authenticity of their
stories before publication, saying his counsel would take appropriate
legal actions against them to protect Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s
reputation and that of the church.
