See Why a Prophet Filed for Divorce After 10 Years of Marriage

A man of God has begged the court to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage to his wife for a reason that will shock you.

Vanguard gathers that on Thursday, a prophet called Akinyemi Ilesanmi living in Akute, Ogun state urged an Agege Customary Court to dissolve his marriage to his wife of 10 years because she ‘disturbed’ his ministry.

At the courtroom, Ilesanmi said that there was a threat to his life as his marriage lacked love, peace of mind and that he was fed up with the union.

“l have not been at peace since l got married to my wife, she is so quarrelsome.

“I am a prophet of God, but since l married her, she has been disturbing my ministry work.

“Whenever am on long fasting, she makes me break it with her bad attitude, ‘my wife is a devil’ even those in my neighbourhood calls her a witch,” he alleged.

To crown it all, he added that their union contracted in 2006, had been fruitless.

“A fake prophet my wife introduced to me prophesied that she is my wife and we got married under two weeks of meeting ourselves.

“She is disturbing my work of God and due to her troublesome ways, l have developed high blood pressure.

“My Lord, I want an end to this marriage because I cannot cope with my wife’s troubles anymore,” said the petitioner.

Ilesanmi’s wife Comfort, who denied all the allegations, objected to the pleading of her husband, saying she was still interested in the marriage. She burst into tears when the court asked her to respond to the allegations against her.

The President of the court, Philip Williams, called the estranged couple into his chamber for an alternative dispute resolution.

Williams adjourned the case till July 28 for the report of settlement or continuation of hearing.
