When did you join Rev. Chris Okotie’s Household as a member? When did you work there and for how long? How were you sacked?
I joined Household in 2006. I was interviewed by pastor, got the job in 2009 and was sacked in 2010.
What were you employed as?
Security Guard
We learnt you were in a relationship with a lady, stephnora NWamaka Boniface, also a former staff of Okotie
That’s true. She remains the mother of my only child.
What was Nora (Amaka) employed as before she left the job
She was working at the campaign house with other ladies there reporting to him directly.
What do she do now?
She is a modeling agent, they say.
What’s your baby’s name, sex and age?
Isabella Adejo
How old?
My beloved daughter is two years and six months. She was born in Dafe Hospital in Ketu September 2010. I had to delete everything about Nora from my life. She almost ruined my life. I’m just trying to start again. I want to be seeing my child. That’s all I want no.
How did you meet Nora?
I met her in a café where she was working as a café attendant
Where and when?
That was in Ketu, in 2006. WE went our ways in 2010 after she met “Baba Olowo”
Who is that, please?
Rev. Chris Okotie
How old is your baby mama?
She is 27, by July 9 she will be 28
What made you suspect she was dating Rev. Okotie?
We fight and quarrel often. She is pretty and wants to keep appointment with too many men against my wish. She goes to him (OKotie) every now and then, frequent calls from him. He usually asks her to buy clothes, meet him in his church office to test and see how the clothes fits her. She will come and be discussing how Okotie has bed in his Church Office and a whole lot of things, bros e too much. My eyes opened when he instructed that I shouldn’t live with the mother of my child, a lady I have spent almost all my life with because he rented a two-bedroom apartment for her and my child. If I had not taken her to Household of God, would Okotie have come to collect her form my one room that we were living before?
WHY OKOTIE BARRED ME FROM ATTENDING HIS CHURCH Biodun Kupoluyi
There is this report that you’ve been barred from attending Rev. Chris Okotie’s Household of God. What happened?
I received the news from a man who claimed he was representing the church, that he had been directed by the Pastor and members of Household of God Church that I should not come and worship with them. His reason, he said, was premised on E24-7 magazine’s expose – Pastor Chris Okotie finds news love, says I will not get married again but may opt for surrogacy soon. I found it shocking that a day after the publication hit the streets, his media department sent a release out and it confirmed our story. He actually made those statements and we reported it. I think what he did not think anybody could have known was his romance with the girl, Naomi Hoffman. He was caught off guard, he never knew it could come to the open so soon. But I feel as a journalist, I owe our teeming readers that responsibility. I feel fulfilled. Though I will miss his theatrics, his stage performances and verbosity.
But you were not written a letter and you don’t know the identity of the messenger, so to speak?
No, I don’t. but I do no want to ignore the fact that it could be true.
I’m trying to locate the number used to call me. The caller actually mentioned his name but I have forgotten before I recorded the rest of our conversation.
Are you a member of Household of God; does Okotie know you attend the church; any personal relationship with him?
I worship there and I don’t think he has to know me. I believe it is a church and not someone’s personal property.
