A pastor, Timothy Ngwu, was on Monday docked at an Enugu North
Magistrates’ Court for allegedly marrying another man’s wife, daughter
as well as another woman.
The pastor’s wife, Veronica Ngwu, was said to have petitioned the court over the development.
The victims whom Mr. Ngwu converted to his “wives” were said to be members of his church: Gods’ Favour Ministry, Nsukka.
One of the victims, Calista Omeye, however, told the court that her
husband, Fidelis Omeye, had persuaded her to meet the pastor as he
wanted her to do the will of God through the pastor.
“My husband was a member of the church and he introduced me to the
church, because he said that the pastor had a revelation for me
(Calista),” Mrs. Omeye said.
She said the revelation had to do with the will of God “but he later left the church but I refused to leave the church with him.
“I have 10 children for him and we were all members of the church
before he quitted and I had a baby for the pastor but the baby died
after some weeks,” she told the court.
She said that it was with her husband’s consent that their daughter was given to the pastor in marriage.
