70-Year-Old Pastor Begs Court For Divorce
Pastor Caleb Oluwafisibe has pleaded with an Ojo
Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 41-year -old marriage because his wife
Titilayo was starving him of sex. Leadership
reports that a 70-year-old pastor told the court that he was already practicing
a celibate life, even as a married man.
“Since I married my wife in June 1975, it’s been
marriage and separation in two phases because any situation was determined by
what I could offer.
“We were living well until 1998 when things became
tough with me. We separated from 1998 to 2006, when my church transferred me
out to the East,’’ he said.

According
to Oluwafisibe, his wife had a negative influence on their children as they had
opposite views on their welfare and education.
The
pastor also told the court that his wife refused him sex since 2006 till date
and that forced him to practice a life of celibacy.
“I even had a special prayer for my wife for three
years to see if God would intervene in the difficult situation and change her
personality,’’ he added.
Oluwafisibe
begged the judge to separate their union, so he could move on with his life.
However,
the pastor’s wife debunked her husband’s allegation, saying that he was
treating her without any tender and decent respect.
“He calls himself a pastor yet he does not have
regard for his family. He has really caused so much division among our
children,’’ she said.
In
her remark, Veronica Willoughby, the court president, called on Oluwafisibe to reconsider his prayer of
dissolution, as a man of God.
“As a
pastor, you should seek peace and not separation. I will give you a second
chance to go back and reconsider your intention.
“You have both failed in the training of your
children by using them as a point of disagreement. Your children are your
collective responsibilities,’’ she said.
