A clergy named Rev. Prince Dom Odoemena has been accused of abandoning his wife and 4 children in the UK to marry another woman in Nigeria.
Rev. Odoemena was ordained a pastor in the Anglican Diocese of Orlu Imo state, and now works as an Assistant Curate at Emmanuel Church in Forest Gate, East London, and the Vocations Officer (vocations Enabler ) with the Church of England.
He has been married to Genevieve, also a native of Imo state, for over 10 years and they have four children together.
It was alleged that Rev. Odoemena and his family subjected his wife to physical and emotional abuse over the years.
After years of alleged abuse, Rev. Odoemena reportedly abandoned his wife and children in the UK and returned to Nigeria to marry another woman.
In order to justify his actions, he allegedly told everyone that his wife Genevieve has been cheating on him. He also allegedly falsely claimed he’s been financially responsible for her and their kids even though he is no longer with her.
It was further alleged that Genevieve was the one who helped Prince Odoemena to get a British citizenship and supported him through his studies in the UK, only for him to abandon her after he became established.
According to report, Rev Odoemena’s got married to a second wife in January 2021, while still legally married to his first wife.
There’s a letter making the rounds online addressed to the Church of England to report the actions of Prince Odoemena to the Church.
