Members of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Diocese of Lagos are
currently divided over the reinstatement of a former pastor, Abayomi
Okesanya, who was initially suspended for alleged adultery.
The
church, which is located at No 18 Ereko Street, Idumota, Lagos, has Rev.
Moses Adebayo Siyanbola as presbyter and minister in-charge of the
circuit.
According to City People, Rev. Okesanya’s wife, Yemisi
had publicly accused him of impregnating another woman, and that he is
reportedly living with another woman, who is not his legally married
wife.
It
was gathered from reports that Okesanya and his wife had been married
for years without producing any children from the union.
This,
allegedly led to the pastor having an affair with another woman, whom he
now keeps as his mistress after she had children for him.
The
Presbyter is said to have had 2 other kids from a previous relationship
before he got married and by the time his legal wife got to know in
2008, she left him and it erupted into huge scandal in the church,
leading to his suspension.
There are claims that Rev. Okesanya is
making moves to divorce his estranged wife but the matter is currently
being investigated by the Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria,
Samuel Emeka Kanu Uche.
