How woman who tracked me to London, plotted to kill my wife, so she could marry me died…– Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared a shocking experience involving a woman who persistently claimed that God had chosen him as her husband.

Speaking at the grand finale of the 2025 Special Victory Hour programme, Pastor Adeboye narrated how the woman, a senior official at a major institution and a married mother, suddenly appeared in his office with this unusual claim.

“Several years ago, a woman just woke up one morning, came to my office, and said, ‘God has told me that you are my husband.’ I said, ‘How can God tell you that? I am a pastor, happily married.’ She herself was married, and from the look of things, she might even be older than me,” he recalled.

Despite his efforts to explain the impossibility of her claim, the woman refused to back down.

He said the situation became even more alarming when she openly threatened the life of his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye.

Concerned for his family’s safety, Pastor Adeboye said he reached out to her husband, hoping to resolve the situation.

He stated that she remained defiant.

“We sent for her husband, but she didn’t change. We brought the matter to the police DPO, and they told her to stop coming to the camp.

“She said, ‘You are joking.’ She told my wife, ‘If you don’t allow me to marry him, I will kill you.’ This was not a joke—demons have been around for a long time,” he said.

Adebiye said that the situation took an even more disturbing turn when he travelled quietly to London to work on a Sunday School pamphlet, disclosing how he was shocked to discover that the woman somehow tracked him to London.

“Then one day, I went to London to prepare our Sunday school pamphlet. I told nobody I was coming. Nobody knew—I wanted to do the work quietly, that’s why I went. As soon as I got into the house in London, the phone rang. When I picked up, she said, ‘Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you. I will be with you in the next few minutes, I’m at the next bus stop,’” he recalled.

Surprised by her persistence and how she managed to locate him, Pastor Adeboye said he turned to God for help.

“I had to threaten her with the police, and unlike Nigeria, the police there cannot be settled. Then I turned to the Almighty God and asked, ‘What is this?’ God said, ‘As long as you allow the mountain to stay, the mountain will stay.’ So I prayed a simple prayer. I don’t know how it happened, but they brought her body back to Nigeria,” he said. [With GWG report]
