PENTECOSTAL
Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Ughelli North Chapter, Delta State, yesterday,
expelled Rev. Lucky Utakpa Oghenemiroro of God’s Gifted Ministry International
for allegedly impregnating a woman outside wedlock and re-marrying.
Handing the letter of expulsion to the
church, chairman of PFN in the area, Rev. Emman Eredoro, the
Secretary, Dr. Mereh Wariri and other executives, said they had
exhausted all efforts to make Oghenemiroro “retrace his steps but to no avail,”
adding that the marriage between him and his wife was still subsisting.
Alleging in the letter that “the immoral
activities of Oghenemiroro were glaring,” it said: “The extra–marital affair
and adultery were proved and our warning and wise counsel fell on deaf ears.
“Consequently, this expulsion has,
therefore, become absolutely necessary as we cannot condone these atrocities
from a professed minister of the gospel. You know that the word of God forbids
any Christian from engaging in such activities.”
Reacting, Oghenemiroro said: “marriage is
not by force as we all know, if I say I will not marry you again it is not by
force. The father of my wife has refunded the dowry I paid, to me and the
matter is before a Customary Court.”
