Speaking exclusively to Encomium through one of his officials, Kenneth Achumasara, on Sunday, June 1, 2014, in Lagos, Pastor Chris said there is no iota of truth in the speculations:
"There is no iota of truth in the story. Rev. Anita is handling our UK agency and she is still ministering till date. I can tell you authoritatively that there is no issue between Pastor Chris and his wife, Anita."
Another official of the church who pleaded anonymity also corroborated Kenneth Achumasara’s statement by insisting that the report is baseless and unfounded. He said: “If you go to the UK now you will see her along with the kids. She is still with him and there is no issue between them.
"I have been with him for 22 years and the Pastor Chris I know cannot even utter such words as reported. He will never address such a gathering. She will soon be in Nigeria for a programme and I will definitely invite you to have access to her.”
