The wife of the former President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has debunked the story making the rounds that she and her husband had parted ways after 25 years of marriage over irreconcilable differences.


Helen Oritsejafor, popularly known as “Mama Oritsejafor” took to her Facebook page on Tuesday to announce  that she is s still married to Pastor Oritsejafor, founder, Word of Life Bible Church, Warri


Pointing out that her attention had been drawn to the fake and malicious news doing the rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against her character and that of her family, she said:


“It’s totally unbelievable, reprehensible and unthinkable and it’s important that I make the facts clear. I am a wife, a mother and a woman of God, and I uphold the tenets of my Christian faith and marriage. My family and home is (are) the most important part (parts)of my life.


“I therefore appeal to everyone to put our interest and that of our lovely kids, above the need to profit from this baseless endeavour. My Husband and I are not divorced, unless people get divorced on social media and I have never been unfaithful to my husband, whom I love very dearly.


“These are works of the devil and his agents to dent my character and good works. Over the years, I have committed my time and resources towards reaching out to the needy, providing support to widows and giving scholarships to orphans.


“I have also taught and mentored a lot of young women on the principles of building and living happily with their spouses through my various platforms both on and offline. I cannot go against my own beliefs.”


She  added: “Don’t forget that live (life) is a seed. To carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but (also) punishable under the law of the land.


“I plead with the general public (sic) to give my family the privacy it needs and disregard cheap attempts to dent my image.


“In retrospect to the fake news, I have briefed my lawyers and all necessary legal actions are being taken. Thank you all and stay blessed.”
