Abuja church general overseer evicts estranged wife and six children

Stanley Ogbonna, a well-known pastor, allegedly drove his estranged wife, Chioma, and their six children out of their Abuja home.

Ogbonna, a General Overseer of God’s Spring Assembly, popularly known as Glass Church, Kubwa, Abuja, was believed to have an uneasy relationship with his wife, which resulted in their divorce.

He was accused of lying to the court about selling his assets in order to keep his estranged wife from inheriting any of his riches.

In a video that went viral on social media sites on Tuesday, Chioma accused the pastor of infidelity and domestic violence, among other things.

She described how she had suffered with the pastor for over 18 or 19 years, with six children, and how the husband had packed his belongings out of the house while sleeping with many women.

She said, “See him, God will help me. This is a pastor. Look at him. This is the pastor, Stanley Ogbonna. He called the police and evicted me and the children out of the house.

“Look at me, look at my properties all outside unannounced. We were in the house this afternoon; he just came to the house with the police and threw my things away. He already packed his things out of the house for years, sleeping around.

“Today, he has come to disgrace me after labouring with him for 18 years, 19 years. See what the General Overseer of God’s Wing Assembly, Glass Church, Kubwa, is doing. I’m his wife, who laboured with him for 19 years.

“The world needs to come into this and give me justice for suffering me for all these years after giving him six children. His last child is a four-year-old.

“Look at me outside and my properties. He feels nobody will speak for me. Jehovah will speak for me,” Chioma added.

Attempts to contact the pastor and the church to discuss the wife’s claim failed. The church’s inquiry phone was inaccessible, and the email received had not been responded to as of the time this complaint was filed.

To commemorate Ogbonna’s birthday, the church hosted a program called “Happy Birthday in Perfect Grace” on April 18.
