Divorce Scandal: Anita Oyakhilome’s Name Removed From Christ Embassy Church Website

The divorce mess between Pastors Chris and Anita Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy Church has worsened,on Sunday, two days after it was reported that Anita Oyakhilome had filed for divorce, Christ Embassy deleted her pictures and personal information from its official website, www.christembassy.org. Many describe the action as the beginning of a process to shut her out of the church, after she accused her husband of “adultery” and “unreasonable behaviors” in a divorce suit filed in London last April but only made public on Friday.

Christ Embassy’s new website now shows only Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, with a broad smile welcoming his followers to the month of September, and tagging it, ‘Month of Praise’. In the message on the website, Oyakhilome also urges his followers to “rejoice for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Also, on the website of the Rhapsody of Realities, a daily devotional co-authored by the erstwhile couple, there’s nothing to show that Anita is still recognized as the only visible face on the website among the family members is that of her husband.  It was too early to know if the September edition of the Rhapsody of Realities still has the photographs of both the pastor and his wife as it used to be. In the past, when the going was good, Anita and Chris Oyakhilome held hands on the church website and smiled broadly. They projected the image of a perfect couple. But there is confusion in the church following the divorce suit filed by Anita to end her over two decade’s marriage to the founder of Christ Embassy Church.
