Ekiti Pastor Divorces Wife Over Alleged Affair with Late Herbalist

Pastor Joshua Ajagunigbala has ended his more than two-decade-long marriage with his wife, Rita, citing adultery allegations. The court dissolved the marriage after Pastor Ajagunigbala accused his wife of having an affair with a deceased herbalist.

Mrs. Ajagunigbala defended herself by claiming that her husband’s neglect drove her into the arms of the herbalist. This was the third time the pastor had accused his wife of adultery.

During the court hearing, it was discovered that the marriage was not legally recognized because no dowry was exchanged. As a result, the court ruled that the parties were free to separate peacefully.

However, the court directed the petitioner, Pastor Ajagunigbala, to take full responsibility for the welfare and education of the two youngest children of the marriage who are still minors. The court also ordered that the first two children, who are no longer minors, could choose to live with either party.

The dissolution of the marriage has caused a stir in the community, with many expressing shock and sadness over the couple’s split.
