Emeka Ike To Pastor Chris Okotie: You Are An Anti-christ - Celebrities -

Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, says Chris Okotie, head pastor of Household of God Church, is not a man of God but an anti-Christ.

Ike
was speaking to The Cable after learning of Okotie’s reaction to his
claims that the pastor was abetting the crisis in his marriage to
Suzanne Rero.

The feud between the actor and his wife had
deteriorated to the point that his wife filed a divorce suit before a
customary court in Lagos. Specifically, she is seeking dissolution of
her 12-year-old marriage over alleged assault by her husband.

After
Ike made the claim, Okotie spoke through his media aide, saying he
would not “dignify Emeka Ike with a response”; and the actor has now
questioned the pastor’s popularity and spiritual calling.

“I think his (Okotie’s) comment is a clear indication that he lacked the evidence to fault my allegation,” Ike said.

“Is
Pastor Okotie well-known and popular as I am? How can he say he will
not dignify me with a response? His comment actually confirmed my
suspicion that my wife is being manipulated either through blackmail or
spiritual enchantment to say she was opting out of her marriage after 12
years.
“For instance, at the last proceeding on the divorce suit, my
wife said it in the open court that she was willing to abandon her four
children and go out of the marriage. Which woman will say she was
abandoning her four children if not under a spell? It is clear to me
that Okotie is not a pastor but an anti-christ.”

He accused Okotie of hiring a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) for his wife, just for the purpose of destroying his home.

Ike
alleged that Okotie gave his wife about N500, 000 for her mother’s
burial and also bought her a blackberry porch phone. He accused Okotie
of calling his wife and other single women out in church every Sunday
and directing that gifts should be given to them.

He further
alleged that Okotie and another man in the church helped his wife to
secure a job without his consent. This other man, he said, recently
experienced problems in his own marriage as well, over a love message
from Suzanne.

“I want people to look into this issue critically.
I’ve never beaten this woman in my life. When she ran out of home, I
called my pastor and they took us for counselling. For one week, I was
begging her every day; I would go home alone and she would go home alone
as well,” Ike added.

“At a point, pastor asked us to write five
things we like and dislike about each other. The pastor said that maybe
we could work it out. I wrote mine, she wrote hers and she never said
there that I used to beat her. I still have that document with me. She
gave me what she wrote and I gave her what I wrote.

“If I used to
beat her, she could not have left it out from that then. Any man that
beats a woman is a coward. I know that someone somewhere must have done
something to her. How can I beat a woman I adore so much? I love my
family and this is very unfortunate. Her children have been begging her
to come home, and she has refused.”
