Moniaye, who said he got married to his wife in 2000, said the marriage packed up in 2009 after years of domestic violence. Because according to him, a group in the Jubilee Parish are teaching women how to get the support of the UK immigration policy by abusing their spouses.
He said:
"Nigerian women in the UK were brainwashed by the group (in RCCG, Jubilee Parish) to...
abuse their husbands so they can claim their husbands' property and exploit the UK immigration policy to their advantage. I challenged the church, telling the coordinators of the programme that the Bible did not support such practice. Unknown to me, my wife was part of it."
Punch reports Moniaye said his wife assaulted him on many occasions, but he did not retaliate which got her frustrated.
Moniaye said:
"On one of such occasions, she injured me. She later called the police to drive me out of the house. When the police got to our home, they met the children around me, consoling me, and because of what they saw, they could not drive me out of the house. After series of such unprovoked attacks, my wife admitted that she was maltreating me to get me out of the house."
Moniaye told Punch correspondent that although he had been separated from his wife, he was concerned about the negative impression such incidents were creating for Nigerians. He said all efforts to get the matter to the attention of the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had been rebuffed by protocol officers.
"I am deeply concerned about the way women are portraying the image of this country to the outside world. And it is unfortunate that the church would be used as a platform for this. My concern is how we can correct this impression," he added.
PUNCH Metro contacted Jubilee Church, Manchester, through its official telephone lines. An official of the church told our correspondent that the pastor would not respond to the allegation.
The official, who did not give his name, said:
"I can tell you that the pastor will not want to talk about it. But I appreciate the call and will pass your message across to him."
PUNCH Metro went further to visit the national headquarters of the RCCG at Oyingbo, Lagos, where he met one of the church pastors. He directed our correspondent to the Redemption Camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, saying matters of such magnitude were usually addressed there.
The Chief Legal Officer, Pastor Ayodele Oladeji, said:
"Yes, a letter has been received at our office here, written by Moniaye, requesting to see Daddy G.O., and we are treating it. I want to assure you that even those who write to Daddy G.O. on ordinary piece of paper receive attention. We will investigate this and know what happened. We have all the documents which Moniaye has submitted to us. He will get a redress of his case with a little patience. We ourselves could feel his pulse with facts on the documents. But you know for now it is still one sided until we get the other side (from the UK church)."

So what does he want Daddy G.O to do about this.
Yes o... this is a not a matter Daddy GO should be treating now. Why does he have Provincial pastors or Area pastors.
Church is not responsible for his marriage breakup at all. It was his wife's choice to break up the marriage because she should be standing with him to expose the group.
I don't know why he must to see Daddy G.O cos his marriage is already broken since 2009. Did he want him to reunite his wife or close down Jubilee parish.
His wife made the conscious descision to destroy the marriage. With all the maltreatment he receved from the woman it means she had stopped loving him in the first place and she wants out. Its more than the teachings he claimed they give them in the church.
Let the necessary authority attend to the man so that he can move on. Pls let RCCG help this man
Tessy, if you are a true blogger help us get the copy of letter he sent to Daddy GO
