Bamidele, has narrated to an Ojo Customary
Court in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, how her
husband, Pastor Israel Bamidele, engaged his
female prayer partner in his bedroom
overnight, an act which she alleged contributed
to the crashing of their 15-year old marriage.
Giving evidence in a divorce petition which her
husband, a school proprietor and pastor, filed against
her in the court, Rebecca said although her husband
falsely accused her of infidelity, it was Bamidle who
brought his prayer partner (names withheld) to his
bedroom for prayers.
"I was surprised that my husband locked his prayer
partner, wife of another man, in his bedroom
overnight. The act not only led to cracks in our
marriage but it also led to the break up in the female
prayer partner's home because after I had left him,
people were still seeing my husband and the woman
together."
"Her husband eventually sent her packing from her
matrimonial home," Rebecca disclosed. Pastor
Bamidele filed the divorce petition against his wife,
claiming frequent fighting, lack of care and that he no
longer loves Rebecca who bore him three children.
When asked the position of her husband's family on
the crisis that engulfed their relationship, Rebecca
said she once travelled to Osun State in southwest
Nigeria to meet her mother-in-law but the old woman
said she should allow her husband marry another wife
because her father-in-law, who is a prophet, married
three wives.
She said, "When I returned to Lagos, my husband
quarrelled with me, saying why should I go to his
homestead in Osun State to inform his mother about
issues in our marriage in our Lagos home?"
Apart from the issue of hosting his prayer partner in
his bedroom, Rebecca alleged that she caught the
pastor sleeping with his school secretary for about a
week but she could not complain because her
husband would beat her silly.
She said, "Anytime I complain, my husband will say I
was becoming too stubborn for him. He would say in
Yoruba, 'ila ti n ga ju onire lo', meaning, the okro plant
was becoming taller than the farmer."
When the court asked about the role played by other
pastors and elders in the crisis, Rebecca said Pastor
Bamidele is the founder and general overseer of his
church and the other leaders were surbordinated to
him because he appointed them.
The court president, Prince Hakeem Tunde Oyekan,
adjourned the matter till 27 August, 2013 for
judgement.
