FCT, Abuja - A newly married woman, Oyiza, has been expelled from church for allegedly refusing to consummate her marriage with her husband, Isaac.
Pastor Paul Rika of the Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide in Abuja announced the expulsion of Oyiza after five months of failed mediation.

As reported by The Punch, the expulsion is contained in a video posted on the church’s YouTube channel in February 2026.
The bride, after the marriage, resisted her husband’s attempts at intimacy, insisting that she did not love him.
The couple was joined in matrimony on September 6, 2025, after completing their traditional rites in Okene, Kogi State, and a court wedding in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Pastor Rika described the bride as a “demon,” while accusing her of Spiritism.
He declared that she must be punished.
“So, we have delivered her to Satan. We have expelled and excommunicated her. You want to bring shame, what do you mean that you don’t love Isaac?”
The cleric referenced cultural practices of earlier times in which newlywed brides were compelled to go to their husbands’ homes.
Pastor Rika said his wife had a revelation that Oyiza was “a marine girl who is married to a marine demon and they have children together.”
According to the pastor:
“This demon is a harsh type, highly jealous type that will never allow her marry another, and the covenant with the demon is that the day you allow a man enter into you, you will die, or that man will die.”
Sharing his ordeal, the husband said:
“After the marriage, in the hotel where we lodged, I touched her, but she said we should wait for a brief period of time. I asked for her reasons; she did not give me any cogent reason. She had also said she did not like s@x all the time. I was also a v1rgin and was not involved in such things. I agreed we won’t make love in the hotel. So, we said when we get to Ibadan.”
'My husband makes love from midnight till dawn'
Recall that Kaduna woman, Linda, filed for divorce, citing her husband’s excessively demanding nature for intimacy and alleged physical abuse when she refused.
She claims her husband, Felix Stephen, engages in prolonged intimacy against her will and ignores her distress, leading her to leave their home three months ago.
Stephen pleaded for reconciliation, but the court adjourned the case to allow for possible resolution while urging both parties to remain peaceful.
Christian women who deny husbands intimacy
Legit.ng also reported that renowned cleric Mike Bamiloye voiced out against the negative behaviour of some married women.
Addressing Christian marriages, the renowned cleric frowned at women who display negative attitudes at home despite their church image.
The Mount Zion Faith Ministries founder described such women as “stubborn, rude, and disrespectful”.
