The crisis rocking the Christ Embassy Church is about to get messier as another new report accuses Rev. Ken Oyakhilome, younger brother of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of the Church of fornication and adultery.
Pastor Chris’ younger brother, known in the Church circle as Rev. Ken, was alleged to have impregnated a South African lady, name withheld, a member of the Church in Randburg, Guateng, which is the headquarters of Christ Embassy, South Africa. Rev. Ken, used to be the regional pastor of Christ Embassy in charge of South Africa until a few years when he was transferred to the branch of the church in Texas, USA.
Sources say the romance between Rev. Ken and the member was an open secret among members of the Church in South Africa and the alleged pregnancy of the lady was said to have ruffled feathers among the top echelons of church but was hushed in order to prevent a scandal. The lady, according to sources, aborted the child with the knowledge of leaders of the church.
Like his elder brother, Rev. Ken has lived apart from his wife Pastor Ose for over ten years now. Pastor Ose used to manage the Okota, Lagos branch of the Church while her husband, Ken was the regional pastor in South Africa. The couple still lives apart today as Pastor Ose now manages the Church in South Africa while her husband, Ken is in Texas, running the church there.
Although the alleged romance between Rev Ken and the said Sister, which resulted in pregnancy, was kept a secret, the crisis in the Church involving Pastor Chris and his wife Anita, had led to many of such secrets tumbling out.
Below are some comments about the Rev Ken saga: From Sister Lebogang Radibela:
“It’s true, here in Johannesburg a pastor impregnated a young lady and forced her to do abortion, later on the lady was promoted to being a pastor, till today she is still a pastor, working together with the wife to the pastor who impregnated her. Members act like this is normal; I mean where we draw a line.”
From Jacob Nnoli: @Sister Lebogang Radibela
“it’s not just a pastor. it’s our darling older brother Rev Ken himself that activated the pregnancy button but it’s shocking to know that our regional pastor, Pastor Ose Oyakhilome, a mother herself supported the abortion and by (following the principle of the ) 48 laws of power, she’s keeping her close. That sounds like what an ‘area mother’ would do and to top it up, the grandfather himself Rev Chris ordained the sister a pastor and probably help seared the damaged conscience with some rands/dollars. How many more in Nigeria region?
Time will fail us to speak of Asaba, Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Benin and many too numerous to mention. I had to listen to that Youtube message again this morning and I can now understand when Pastor Chris said Pastor Anita should have moved with those who will help her as the wife of global pastor. Is this what she should learn, to help Pastor Yemisi and other indicted ladies? Actually Pastor, you forgot to announce the firing of Pastor Pat, the CSO as a result of leaked White House (Pastor Chris’ residence in Lagos) information and the hiring of a brother-in-law Deacon Kingsley Osazuwa.
Our darling Rev Ken, it looks like Durex, Trojan, and Gold circle condoms etc have all finished in the market because of ….May God have mercy but we need to obtain the mercy.”
Meanwhile, the London branch of the Christ Embassy Church is undergoing a major crisis which had led the Charity Commission, the body licensed to regulate charities in the UK, to take over its financial administration through the appointment of an Interim Manager.

Too long but I had to finish reading it. But why do their wives live separately from them?, is that not encouraging adultery and fornication?

Wow this is serious
Pastors indeed. Is this what they pass unto their church members?, believe when I say church tins are not for me.
Church or no church, the rule of life are based on God's rules. Even if the person is not a pastor, good morals requires a married man must be faithful!!! So you don not need to be a church goer or a believer to follow these rules of life!!!
All these Pastors and other couples living apart should rethink.
It's their blood so I am not surprise~Jady
My dear, it doesn't mean you should now brandish him as the founder of fornication and adultery church. Do we all want to say we are without sin?? I make no excuse for their behaviour, first as Christians, then as men of God. But we should remember that they are human..(flesh and blood) and so are not infallible. The sooner we understand that the better. Am sure there are bad eggs " ministers" in whatever denomination you attend. So please lets remove the log in our eyes before we remove the spec in another mans'. Besides are the jist confirmed sef??
@Ogechi plz tell them. He who is without sin first cast the stone.
