How Enraged Wife Stopped Husband’s Church Wedding in Kenya
A scorned woman identified as Ms Nelly Atieno reportedly stormed a popular church in Kenya on Friday armed with a court order to stop her husband’s scheduled church wedding to another woman. The wedding was scheduled to take place on Friday at the Kings Outreach Church Bumala Altar in Busia. She had obtained court orders on Thursday after learning about the wedding from a friend who is a member of the church.
“I only came to learn about the wedding through a friend who is a member of the church who sent me a copy of the invitation card through WhatsApp,” Ms Atieno said.
According to Nairobi News, armed with the court order stopping the wedding and a photocopy of the wedding invitation card, she stormed Kings Outreach Church headquarters at Nakuru’s showground area and demanded that the church leadership stopped the wedding between her alleged husband, Fredrick Ajwang and the other woman, Levine Nyamoita, a policewoman.

Ms Atieno claimed she has been married to Mr Ajwang since 2003 in a wedding conducted according to the Luo customs, adding that her almost 13-year-old marriage to Mr Ajwang, an engineer has produced four children aged between three and 10 years, among them a set of twins. She shouted and hurled insults at the church pastors who were present before she was calmed down by some congregants.
Speaking after presenting the court order to the presiding pastor of the church Archbishop Reverend Sila, Ms Atieno claimed that despite tabling a complaint in August 2015 regarding her marriage with Mr Ajwang, the church still went ahead with the wedding preparations.
“I sought audience with church leadership to know why my husband was being married off to another woman, they advised me to seek a court’s intervention,” she said.
According to Ms Atieno, the church only stopped the wedding announcement but continued with preparations behind the scenes.
She wondered why the church was planning to preside over the union when she had protested and had produced proof of their 13 years of marriage including birth certificates of their four children.

However, according to the church leadership, Ms Atieno did not have any documents to prove that she was legally married to Mr Ajwang.
The Archbishop said:
“We have called off the wedding until the matter is heard and determined by the court. If Mr Ajwang and Ms Atieno resolve to divorce, we shall continue with the wedding thereafter.”
He added that the two (Mr Ojwang and Ms Nyamoita) notified the government office of their impending wedding and they got a notice of wedding two days ago.
When contacted on phone, Mr Ajwang admitted knowing the woman and said she has been his wife. He, however, declined to comment further on the issue saying the case is in court.
