NIGERIA – Abraham’s wife, Mary, the choirmaster and two monarchs in Kabba spoke exclusively with local media outlets over the crisis.
When the reporter met the 53-three-year old Mary, coincidentally she wore the same cloth her husband was clad in when the reporter met him in his Ekiti church a week before meeting his wife.
In Nigeria, it is common practice for a husband and wife to buy the same clothes or materials to sew so that they can have wear matching outfits often to social events.
Abraham is the founder of the Christ High Commission, whose news about charging N310,000 for the rapture, otherwise known as the second coming of Jesus Christ, has gone viral.
There was exclusively obtained video recordings of the church where he camped about 40 people waiting for the rapture.
Although the members in his church in Ekiti did not speak, the ones in Kabba spoke to the press while alleging that he has severally issued death threats to people who wanted to quit his church because of his activities.
The two families and their marriages
Abraham and his wife were married for 31 years, and they had five children, but one had died long before their marriage hit the rocks.
His alleged mistress already had four children for her husband before quitting her home.
Her family, just like Abraham’s also lost one of their children, a boy while they were members of the church in Kabba.
According to Mary, the boy’s death made the woman get very close to the pastor.
Abraham’s alleged mistress had a church wedding with her husband, Ikuenayo, the choirmaster.
Abraham told the choirmaster to end his marriage with his wife because he said God told him He ordained the woman for him, Ikuenayo, Kabba monarchs and some church members claimed.
“She later changed her name from Bose to Anabel, and she bleached her skin from a dark woman to a fair person,” Ikuenayo the choirmaster said of his estranged wife, who is now fair-complexioned like Abraham.
Many pictures of the woman the media crew saw showed that Anabel had been a dark person. The pastor’s wife also confirmed it.
Anabel, the choirmaster and Mary Abraham are indigenes of Kabba.
Abraham had parted with his wife and lived with Anabel before the town banished him.
His wife said he denied her access to her children, including the family’s only girl, a person with disabilities, while Anabel brought all her children to live with him.
The choirmaster also said his life had been in ruins since his wife eloped with Abraham. He explained that Anabel took him to court to claim the custody of their children. He didn’t fight back because he left everything to God, hoping God would help his family return home.
