The $9.3m arms deal was ochestrated to tarnish his image-Oritsejafor's Wife

Wife of the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and founder of the Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor (Mrs) Helen Oritsejafor, opened up to the Nigerian Tribune on the $9.3m arms deal

I was really surprised. I didn’t even know anything about it. I didn’t even know our plane was out of the country, because we leased it out to a company in Abuja so that we would be able to utilise whatever comes out of the deal for the maintenance of the plane, because it is quite expensive. So we didn’t know. Even though we read and heard some comments some people made concerning it, unknown to us that our plane was actually involved. In all honesty, by the time we got to know that it was Papa’s plane, we knew that the enemies were trying to play some pranks. It is natural, because he is a symbol of Christianity in Nigeria. The only thing is I wasn’t expecting people to get really dirty as they did.
