My Ex-Husband Is Threatening To Harm Me For Leaving Him After 12 Years Of Abusive Marriage, Says Former Wife Of House On The Rock Pastor, Joseph OkpongeteTaiwo in a statement in four parts narrated her ordeal with the cleric whom she said she left four years ago.
She alleged that during the 12 years of their marriage, she suffered greatly as the spouse of the cleric as she was subjected to domestic violence “in its most horrific forms,” adding that “I faced physical, emotional, psychological, and financial abuse.” According to her, the case was reported to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency in 2022 where her husband was invited to and “he confessed twice to having beaten me, and this was recorded. It was also reported to the Nigeria Police Force.
“My successful career as an award winning Recruiter has been threatened and almost destroyed, even when I had worked within the Oil E & P industry in Nigeria and worked with multinationals within Corporate Canada in the finance industry. “Due to the stress I was receiving on the home front, I would have burnouts on my jobs in Canada and have to resign, leaving me with little or no income. When the abuse became too much, I had to call the Canadian Police in Mississauga, ON who came to warn him at the house that if he continued this way, he would be arrested. This made him step back a bit.
Taiwo said that two weeks ago, her ex-husband’s aunt called and ‘commanded’ her to return to the husband’s house, but she politely refused.
