Mike Davids, a former Pastor with the Omega Fire Ministries International, has sued the General Overseer of the church, Apostle Johnson Suleman, and the church for N2bn, for unlawfully interfering in his marriage.
Davids had accused Apostle Suleman of committing adultery with his wife, Pastor Faith Edeko, who now heads the Utako, Abuja branch of the church.
In a written a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Davids alleged that Apostle Suleman was threatening his life.
IGP Adamu had ordered a probe into the matter.
Davids has now dragged Apostle Suleman to court, accusing him of destroying his home and preventing him from seeing his three children.
In the petition for decree of restitution of conjugal rights, the petitioner stated that he married his wife pursuant to Section 24 of the Marriage Act at St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Ekpoma, on December 6, 2008 by virtue of which only a High Court can annul.
Among other reliefs, Davids is seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining Apostle Suleman, the church and their agents from gaining access or relating with his wife and three children.
He is also seeking, “an award of punitive and exemplary damages in the sum of N2bn against the defendants for unlawful interference with the claimant’s contract of marriage and the cost of N2m being the cost of prosecuting this action before this honourable court.”
Both Apostle Suleman and Pastor Edeko have denied Davids’ allegations.
