“My wife, Ashabi, is a devil,” a middle-aged pastor Michael told an Iseyin Customary Court in Nigeria, asking for a divorce, Vanguard is reporting.

“My wife is evil. I noticed my prayers are not really answered by God like before and I have also noticed that I am now living with a devil.

“She will not attend church or join me in prayers; all she specialised in is to gossip around town and go to parties.

“I have told her to pack out of my house and she has obeyed me. I want her totally out of my life so that I can begin to receive anointing again from God,” Michael said.

Michael said they got married four years ago.

The court’s president Adelodun Raheem adjourned the case to October 5th and ordered that another summons be served on the respondent, Ashabi.
