Drama as MAN OF GOD is dragged to court for refusing to pay child alimony
Pastor
Marumahoko argued that the reason why he withdrew his maintenance was
because his wife Mrs Beatrice Marumahoko is a business woman, and
therefore can take good care of herself and the kids even without his
support.
"I can't support her. She
took away our children and I hear she enrolled them in a school where
she pays N476k per term,which I can't afford," the man of God lamented,
adding that he was only capable of paying N32k per month.
Mrs
Marumahoko is seeking N250k for the kids' upkeep and spousal
maintenance.The pastor insists he will not pay because he has many
responsibilities.
"I even have water bills that has accumulated to N748,120 and which I have to clear," the pastor continued.
In a quick rejoinder, Mrs Marumahoko rejected the offer of N32k, arguing that it was way too little to take care of the family.
"Man of God, why are you lying
to the court? You know very well that these days I am broke and not
working. You need deliverance to see things clearly as a man," Mrs
Marumahoko said.
She emphasised
that she needed N250k monthly to start a business and also pay school
fees for the kids. However, the court, after listening to the couple
engage each other in bitter exchange, decided to slap the man of God
with the burden of remitting to his wife N123K monthly for the family's
upkeep.
You cannot run away from responsibility.
