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. Therefore, they always quarreled because of them.

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.

The case was adjourned the case till February 16, 2016.
