The founder of Victor’s Church, Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, Pastor Folayemi Richard, has reportedly beaten his pregnant wife, Odunola, to coma over a rift between the couple.
The pastor was said to have committed the assault in their residence located at Ita Olodan, Upper Gaa-Akanbi in Ilorin.
The wife disclosed that the incident occurred in January 2021 when their wedding was three months old and her pregnancy was a month old.
Odunola lamented that even when she collapsed, her husband kept torturing her, brutalising her with a cable wire, adding that a neighbour, who is an older woman, came to mediate for her but was overpowered and pushed aside by the cleric.
The cleric’s wife said she had been experiencing marital turbulence since their marriage in late September 2020.
She added that her husband had once beaten her till she became unconscious.

“Last year, September 26, we got married, and we’ve been living together as husband and wife. When our wedding was one month old, that was when a terrible crisis occurred. We had a disagreement. Suddenly, he ordered me to stand up and that he would take me to a hospital, where he would dump me.
“He started insulting my parents; I cautioned him. He slapped me and began to beat me. He got a cable wire which we use for speakers in the church and beat me.
“I started shouting for help. I became so weak. I dashed out of the house; he followed me and started dragging me on the ground, saying he did not want the marriage again.
“At this time, people had already gathered and were begging him. He locked me out and went to my parents. When he came back again, he ordered me to leave his home,” Odunola said.
As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, the allegation was confirmed by one of the eyewitnesses, Victoria Oluwaseun, saying the pastor dragged his wife out, beat her without considering the pregnancy.
However, the pastor’s mobile lines could not be reached as of the time of writing this report as they were switched off.
Odunola said she has complained to the National Human Rights Commission to seek justice over the matter.
