When Omolara and Ezekiel tied the knot four years ago, many saw them as the ideal Christian couple. Their relationship, once celebrated in church circles, has now unraveled into a storm of allegations and emotional wounds. What began as a union grounded in shared faith has become a public conflict filled with accusations of abuse, betrayal, and trauma.
Now separated, both have taken to interviews, podcasts, and social media to air their grievances. Omolara’s appearance on the ‘Talk to B’ podcast, hosted by Nollywood actress Biola Adebayo, marked a turning point. She accused her estranged husband, Ezekiel, of physical abuse, infidelity, and neglect. In addition, she alleged that his mother assaulted her and his sister poisoned her with food she was allergic to.
Her health deteriorated after giving birth to twin girls via cesarean section. Omolara said doctors diagnosed her with lumbar spondylosis, a spinal disc condition worsened by a slap from her mother-in-law just eight days after delivery. She claimed that the slap impacted the same area where she received an epidural, worsening her condition and forcing her into daily injections.
Adding to her suffering, she accused her sister-in-law of deliberately poisoning her. A concerned landlord reportedly took her to the hospital and paid ₦150,000 for her treatment. Omolara recounted these details while sobbing, describing a life filled with pain and rejection.
After Ezekiel’s job transfer to Qatar, he initially left her and the children in Nigeria. He later allowed them to join him. Life abroad, according to Omolara, brought no relief. She alleged that Ezekiel became colder, cheated with housemaids, and refused to care for her and the children.
One day in Qatar, she collapsed and was rushed to Hamad International Hospital. Doctors diagnosed her with pyelonephritis, a kidney infection, and warned that without urgent care, she had nine months to live. That warning came five months ago. Omolara claimed that Ezekiel initially refused to visit her and, when he eventually came, only asked about the children before leaving with them.
Omolara’s mother, Mrs. Adeyanju, accused Ezekiel of being manipulative and emotionally abusive. She described him as someone who never showed true pastoral character and dismissed her daughter’s suffering. According to her, community members began to notice how malnourished Omolara and her children appeared.
She further alleged that Ezekiel preyed on young women under the guise of spiritual leadership. Despite multiple interventions, she said he remained unwilling to change.
In response, Ezekiel rejected all accusations. He described Omolara as deceitful and manipulative. According to him, she hid her medical history and past relationships before their wedding. He said her health began declining a few days after marriage, and he stood by her during hospital visits and treatments.
Ezekiel admitted losing foreign contracts due to his caregiving responsibilities. Still, he claimed he never raised his hand against her or allowed anyone else to harm her. He dismissed the poisoning claim and labeled it part of an attempt to destroy his reputation.
He further accused Omolara of infidelity, both in Nigeria and Qatar. Ezekiel said he found a male condom in her pocket and read suspicious messages with men on her phone. He also claimed that her classmates at a nursing school in Qatar informed him of her inappropriate behavior.
Their once-admired union has turned into a highly publicized conflict. Both sides have told deeply conflicting stories, each blaming the other for the collapse of the marriage. At the heart of the crisis are their young children, caught between emotional turmoil and public scandal.
Whether through legal resolution or personal healing, the Omolara and Ezekiel marriage crisis continues to draw attention and raise serious concerns about domestic abuse, spiritual manipulation, and the urgent need for accountability behind closed doors.
