Adultery mess: Embattled Chris Oyakhilome finally speaks! Admits being in UK court with wife … Threatens media

Chris and Anita, when the going was good

After days of subdued silence, the embattled founder of Christ Embassy church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has finally spoken on the adultery allegation tearing his marriage to embitter Anita apart.

He also admitted being in a UK court with his estranged wife, who recently filed for divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behavior and adultery.

Speaking through his lawyer, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, in a paid advertorial published in some national newspapers and obtained by SHOWBIZPLUSng, the advertorial said:

“The attention of our client, Rev. Chris Oyakhilome and the church, the Christ Embassy, has been drawn to the wave of false, malicious and fabricated stories being published in the print and electronic media about his person, the church and a matrimonial cause between him and his wife… Our client is seriously concerned that under the guise of reporting a divorce proceeding involving him publishers resorted into an unjustified and malicious attack on his reputation…”

On behalf of rattled Oyakhilome, Pinheiro, who personally signed the full page advertorial continued:

“It is our client’s instructions to inform the members of the public and particularly warn the concerned media houses that the news or story currently circulating in the media is nothing but a complete distortion of the facts in the pending proceedings in the UNITED KINGDOM…”

Oyakhilome also threatened to embark on a legal action against media houses if they do not desist from reporting about the case without verifying.

But the big question is where does Oyakhilome and his church hierarchy that are fond of maintaining annoyingly sealed lips on matters concerning them want the media to verify their stories from?

All the media had written and will continue to write on this saga were all sourced from the public domain courtesy of a UK court.

Nobody has fabricated any false story or rumour.

At least, with the above statement, Oyakhilome has finally confirmed what the media earlier reported that he is currently in a UK court fighting one of the biggest battles of his life with his wife, who wants a divorce following allegations of adultery and unreasonable behaviour.
