“To carry baseless news is punishable under the law” – Pastor Helen Oritsejafor Debunks Rumour That Her Marriage to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor Has Crashed

Recall that earlier this month social media buzzed with the news of former President of CAN Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and his wife Helen going their separate ways.

However, the matter has taken a new twist as Dr. Helen Oritsejafor has taken to social media, to debunk rumors that their marriage has ended.

The rumour is said to be ignited when some netizens noticed that Mrs. Helen Oritsejafor has been noticeably absent from many of the church activities which they felt something was wrong.

Prior to the devastating news, Helen has been absent from most of the church programmes particularly the week-long celebration of her husband’s 50th anniversary as a clergyman in November, 2022.

In a recent social media post, she wrote;

“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. 

Over the years, I have committed my time and resources towards reaching out to the needy, providing support to widows and giving scholarships to orphans. 

I have also taught and mentored a lot of young women on the principles of building and living happily with their spouses through my various platforms both on and offline. I cannot go against my own beliefs. Don’t forget that live is a seed. 

To carry a baseless news not supported is not only malicious but punishable under the law of the land. I plead with the general public to give my family the privacy it needs and disregard cheap attempts to dent my image. 

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.”
