* She’s a liar, pastor fires back
The wife of a pastor in Yola, Adamawa State, has dragged her husband to court over allegations of ‘sleeping’ with women inside his church.
Mrs. Jumai Mala, the wife of Pastor Yakubu Kefas Ayuba of Heavengate Bible Mission in Bachure, Yola North Local Government Area, told the court that that Pastor Ayuba sleeps with women inside the church.
Jummai alleged that she caught her husband in the act a number of times.
She said her husband has a bed in the office of the church, on which he sleeps with women.
The Pastors wife told the Upper Area Court III in Yola that her husband has continued in the act, therefore she could not remain his wife.
She asked the court to dissolve the marriage as her husband had long proved that he would not stop chasing women, as efforts she made to advise him have only attracted threats of violence against her.
She said her marriage is blessed with four children, claiming that she has been responsible for the children’s upbringing.
Pastor Ayuba, however, dismissed the allegations, claiming that his wife was lying to the court.
The pastor had, through his counsel, F. R. Baiyo, called three witnesses who testified in court and were cross-examined by counsel to the petitioner, J. J. Shalli.
The Upper Area Court III in Yola presided over by Hon Umar Isa, adjourned the case to March 10, for further hearing.
