A 48 -year-old prophetess, identified as Dolapo, has told an Oke-Ogbere Customary Court in Ibadan that her 51-year-old husband, Rotimi Michael, who is a pastor, is seeking
Mr Michael is a resident at Olubonku-Olodo area of Ibadan.
“Rotimi no longer wants to see me because he now knows that my anointing is greater than his. Anytime I have a revelation for our congregation in the church, Rotimi, as the church overseer, will not want God’s revelation to be shared because he feels that I might be greater than him.
“Besides, Rotimi is making desperate moves to terminate my life in another revelation by our son. He is currently blackmailing me around that I am a fake prophetess,” Dolapo said in consent to the suit.
Michael accused his wife of arrogance and disrespect saying, “To say the least my lord, I have for too long tolerated Dolapo’s arrogance, disrespect, stubbornness and stone-heartedness to me, probably due to my silence. She doesn’t even take instructions from me; instead, Dolapo consults other pastors around.
“Rather than supporting my ministry, she causes pandemonium that leads to crises in the church. In fact, Dolapo keeps nagging and I am completely fed up with her.”
Some senior pastors of the church prayed the court to give them a grace of four weeks to intervene for amicable settlement.
The court’s President, Suleiman Adeniyi, however, said that he was adjourning the case for the last time because he had done it on several occasions without any remedy.
Adeniyi adjourned the case till March 20 for judgment.
