Prepares for legal battle with publications

LAGOS, Nigeria – Wife of the General Overseer of World of Life Bible Church, Helen Oritsejafor has said her marriage has not broken down irretrievably, contrary to reports in a section of the social media.

In a statement, the pretty woman, who is an entrepreneur and author said that she and her husband Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor are still married and never divorced. She has also directed her lawyers to take appropriate action against the publications.

“Fam, my attention has been drawn to the fake and malicious news making rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against my character and that of my family. It’s totally unbelievable, reprehensible and unthinkable and it’s important that I make the facts clear”, she said.

Going further, she said she remains a wife and mother and that her family is an important part of her life.

“I am a wife, a mother and a woman of God, and I uphold the tenets of my Christian faith and marriage. My family and home is the most important part of my life.

“I therefore appeal to everyone to put our interest and that of our lovely kids, above the need to profit from this baseless endeavor. My Husband and I are not divorced, unless people get divorced on social media and I have never been unfaithful to my husband, whom I love very dearly”, Helen said.

She attributed the stories circulating in the social media as the works of the devil and his agents to dent her character and good works.

She explained that over the years, she has committed her time and resources towards reaching out to the needy, providing support to widows and giving scholarships to orphans.

“ I have also taught and mentored a lot of young women on the principles of building and living happily with their spouses through my various platforms both on and offline. I cannot go against my own beliefs”, she added.

While stating that life is a seed, she explained that to carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but punishable under the law of the land.

“I plead with the general public to give my family the privacy it needs and disregard cheap attempts to dent my image. n retrospect to the fake news, I have briefed my lawyers and all necessary legal actions are being taken”, she said.
