Dr. Helen Oritsejafor, the wife of the ex-president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ayo Oritsejafor, has refuted allegations surrounding the status of their marriage.

Last week, rumors that the religious leader's marriage had fallen owing to adultery went widespread on the Internet.

Helen, on her Facebook page on Monday, replied to the charges which she labeled “works of the devil” aimed at tainting her character.

Oritsejafor confirmed her love for her husband and their family, adding that she truly believed in the teachings of the Christian religion and so, could not go against her morals.

Her statement partly read, “Fam, my attention has been drawn to the fake and malicious news making rounds on blogs, social media platforms and the newspapers against my character and that of my family. 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 the most important part 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 endeavor.

“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.”

She further stated that she would be taking legal actions against the rumours mongers as she had already briefed her lawyers.

“Don’t forget that life is a seed. To carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but punishable under the law of the land,” she continued.

“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,” she concluded.
