Aggrieved Husband Writes Oyedepo After Winners’ Pastor Snatches His Wife

A jilted husband, Ifeanyi Kenneth Okpoko has written a petition to Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and general overseer, Winners Chapel asking him to tell one of his pastors, Kelvin Ugwuoke to leave his wife alone.

In a letter dated 14 November 2013 titled: ‘Case of Adultery, Snatching Of My Wife And Secret Marriage Engagement’, an embittered Okpoko alleged that Ugwuoke snatched his banker wife, Blessing Ifeanyi Okpoko and went secretly to Dubai and engaged her in marriage.

He said he legally married Blessing according to the marriage act and when he later discovered she had a secret marriage arrangement, he confronted her with some photographs while Blessing was still living with him. This however prompted her to move to Ugwuoke’s purported house at Prime Water View Estate, Flat 8 at Lekki.


He said Blessing also filed a suit at Lagos High court seeking for the dissolution of the marriage to cover up.

In the letter, he noted that Blessing and Kelvin were fighting him with their connection in the Nigeria police, adding that, he was to prison in a bid to stop him from taking over their joint property.
He stated that both Ugwuoke and Blessing are devoted ministers in Winners church, noting that, before she left his house, she was the pastor-in-charge of House Fellowship in his house at Ajao estate.

Okpoko stated in the letter that the duo were lovers in Kano before Ugwuoke dumped her to marry several other women with many children and she married him.
Okpoko stated that his marriage broke up in April 2014 when Blessing who is an Area Manager in one of Nigeria’s leading banks, UBA informed him that she was going to Dubai on official duty.

He explained that Kelvin who is the Risk Manger in a new generation bank joined her in Dubai where they formalised their relationship.

He said when she returned, her behaviour totally changed, picking quarrels unnecessarily until the information and photographs of the marriage got to him.

He told Bishop Oyedepo that Kelvin took his wife and children which has left him in mental and psychological trauma.

“Sir I have been subjected to mental and psychological trauma which can led to untimely death, ironically, they are ministers in your church which calls for your intervention” he stated.
He also attached photographs of pictures taken by Kelvin and Blessing both here in Nigeria and Dubai.
