Edo State High Court

An estranged husband, Paul Nosakjare, has alleged that their pastor, Joseph Igwemoh of Global Influence International Ministries, told him to be using condom when making love with his wife, Stella Maris Alegbe-Paul, because the man of God was also having sex with her.

The plaintiff levelled the accusation in a divorce suit hearing before the Edo State High Court 13 sitting in Benin City.

Nosakhare, during his testimony before the court presided over by Justice Hassana Garuba on Thursday, alleged that his wife refused him sex on their wedding night.

In the suit, marked: B/478B/19 Nosakhare Paul v Mrs Stella Maris Alegbe-Paul and Pastor Joseph Igwemoh, the petitioner, being represented by Benedicta Okoduwa and Douglas Ogbankwa, said: “On the 1st day of May, 2018 at about 7:30pm, I got to Pastor Joseph Igwemoh’s office at his Church Global Influence International Ministries at Owoseni Street, off Mission Road, Benin having gone to fix his car for him, as I am an auto electrician.

“I got to the door of his Office but found it locked and the lights were off too.

“I knocked for over five minutes and I heard Pastor Joseph Igwemoh ask: ‘Who is that?’

“And I said I was the one.

“He asked me to wait only for my wife, Mrs. Stella-Maris Alegbe-Paul, to come out from Pastor Joseph Igwemoh’s office sweating profusely and looking ruffled.

“I asked her what she was doing there and she said it was a personal business.

“Just then I saw Pastor Joseph Igwemoh coming out of the same office my wife came out from, wearing singlet and boxers and taking orange.

“When I confronted Pastor Joseph Igwemoh that he was having an affair with my wife, the said Pastor Joseph Igwemoh started harassing and intimidating me with the police.

“He first started with the New Benin Police Station in Benin, but the DPO (Divisional Police Officer) asked me to go that I didn’t do anything.

“Then on Thursday, the 18th day of October, 2018, Pastor Joseph Igwemoh arrested me to State CID of the Edo State Police Command in Benin City, wherein the matter was investigated by the Conflict Resolution Unit.

“The IPO was one Mahmud who started beating me up that I must confess that I put something on the Internet against Pastor Igwemoh, which I denied.

“I told him I will not write anything until I see my Lawyer.

“He then detained me for more than 24 hours and when my Lawyer came, I was granted bail.

“During the investigation, after I was granted bail, I wrote a letter to the said Pastor Joseph Igwemoh through my Lawyer and copied the Commissioner of Police, Edo State and the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development wherein I complained about the adulterous affairs going on between him and my wife.

“The Pastor did not respond to that letter till now, but instead he lured my wife to pack out of our matrimonial home and I heard he rented an apartment for her at Ugbowo, Benin City.

“Throughout my marriage with my wife, she denied me my conjugal right.

“Pastor Igwemoh warned me to always have sex with my wife with condoms as my wife is not used to sex, saying my wife was her daughter.

“Pastor Joseph Igwemoh was even charged to court in this case as then Deputy Commissioner of Police, State CIID, Edo State (DC Okoh retired) did the right thing and asked that the Pastor be charged to court, which was done.

“The case is before Oredo Magistrate Court 6, Benin City and the case is ongoing.

“Pastor Joseph Igwemoh of Global Influence Ministry has really frustrated me.

“He was the one that joined me and my wife together in marriage and I was even his Assistant Pastor.

“I also once saw my wife and Pastor Joseph Igwemoh in his office, with Pastor Joseph Igwemoh lying down and my wife was sitting by his waist on a foam, while there are chairs in the office.”

The case was adjourned to February 14, 2022 for further hearing.

Adeleke presents staff of office to new Owa-Obokun amid protest

Adeleke presents staff of office to new Owa-Obokun amid protest

ILESA — Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Sunday presented the staff of office to Oba Adesuyi Haastrup as the 41st Owa-Obokun of Ijesaland in a ceremony marked by mixed reactions.

Oba Haastrup’s selection follows the passing of the 40th Owa-Obokun, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, in September, after which the mourning period and succession process commenced. Last Friday, Prince Haastrup of the Bilaro Olu-Odo ruling house was elected by the Ijesa kingmakers and subsequently approved as the new monarch despite an existing court injunction restraining stakeholders from proceeding with the selection process.

At the installation ceremony, Governor Adeleke urged the new monarch to foster unity among Ijesa people and leverage his experience and connections for the development of Ijesaland and Osun State.

“Kabiyesi, now that the time of competition is over and you have become the father of all, I urge you to rally all citizens of Ijesaland for the development of the area and the State at large,” Adeleke said.

He emphasized the importance of collective efforts, stating, “There is much work to be done, and the Government alone cannot bear the responsibility. I call on all Ijesa sons and daughters to prioritise the development of our fatherland. Our administration is intensifying developmental efforts across the state, including Ijesaland.”

The selection and installation of Oba Haastrup were met with opposition from two royal families, Ofokutu and Fajemisin, within the Bilaro Olu-Odo ruling house.

In a statement signed by Prince Adetoyese Adegbohungbe, Secretary of the Ofokutu royal family, the process was described as a desecration of Ijesa traditions.

“We have witnessed not just compromise but the desecration of the noble tradition of the Ijesa, with the blatant disregard for the most sacred tradition, which is the selection of the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland,” the statement read.

The family expressed shock at the selection, citing a pending court case, and accused stakeholders of undermining due process.

The Fajemisin family also condemned the process, describing it as flawed and unlawful. In a statement by Olufemi Fajemisin, the family rejected Oba Haastrup’s selection and demanded a transparent process that respects Ijesa customs.

“We categorically reject the purported elected Owa and demand a transparent, lawful process that honours our customs and traditions,” the statement said.

Both families have vowed to pursue legal action, dissociating themselves from the new monarch and alleging imposition in violation of tradition. They pledged to defend the rights of the Ijesa people and restore the integrity of their heritage.

As the controversy unfolds, the installation has spotlighted the delicate balance between tradition, legality, and governance in the selection of traditional rulers in Nigeria.
