PURPORTEDLY estranged wife of the Presiding Pastor of the Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor Mrs Helen Oritsejafor, popularly known as Mama Helen, has debunked the news doing the rounds that she’s parted ways with her husband.
The Ekiti-born woman of God in a terse statement late Monday night sighted by Stonix News, said she hadn’t parted ways with her husband for any reason.
She also denied the infidelity allegation that accompanied the last week trending on both some mainstream media and social media about the alleged divorce, saying divorce is not done on the social media.
While pleading with the general public to give her family the needed privacy and disregard cheap attempts to dent her image, Mama Helen hinted that her lawyers have been briefed to take necessary actions against purveyors of the fake news.
Meanwhile, Stonix News reports that those who flew the kite of the divorce had based their reasons largely on Helen’s unusual long absence from the church, even during the 50th anniversary of the priesthood of her husband and the one week celebration to mark it.
In fact, her photograph was a sent on the poster printed for the event, besides not occupying her usual place beside her husband in the church.
She was also said to have continued her daily prayer session on Facebook even while the 50th ordination anniversary of Pastor Oritsejafor lasted from November 6 to 15, 2022.
Some of the reports had claimed that Pastor Helen Oritsejafor is, at present, in the United Kingdom for reasons undisclosed.
Meanwhile, debunking the divorce, the lady from Falegan family, pleaded with rumour mongers to sheathe their swords.

MAMA ORITSEJAFOR SPEAKS ON THE “HELLISH” DIVORCE ALLEGATION
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 life is a seed. To carry a piece of 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.
Dr. Mrs. Helen Oritsejafor
