The two suspects are currently being held in police custody at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Yola.

Inside sources confided that  Juliana is a wife Eli Daniel who is also  Staff of Federal Ministry of Power Abuja.

But Juliana Eli Daniel, a staff of Yola Electricity Distribution Company(YEDC) was said to be working directly under  Ebenezer  Otinjele when he was the  Business Manager of the Electricity Distribution Company Yola, where they started their extramarital affairs.

Unknown to the husband, the accused man, Ebenezer was alleged to have been having extra-marital affairs with Juliana for 4 years which led to the conception and bearing of 2 children with other pregnancies aborted.

Confirming the illicit affairs, the husband   Mr. Daniel told our reporter that they got married on 6th April 2002 at the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) headquarters in Numan and had 5 children including the two she had with Ebenezer whom she made him believe they are his children.

” After our marriage, I  secured a job for her, Juliana in early 2016 where she was posted to Yola Business unit and later deployed to work in the office of the then Business Manager, Pastor Ebenezer, this is where they started their extramarital relationship.

” After her deployment to the office of Ebenezer, they started having sexual intercourse to the extent of committing such an act in our matrimonial home at Mbamba.

” They go to the house when the children have gone to school, and that they sometimes send the children to buy something outside if they were at home so as to have space of time,” said the husband in a telephone chat.

Not only that, but Pastor Ebenezer was also alleged to have taken Daniel’s wife to Jalingo for weekend on 15th September 2016 where she left her male child she had for Eli with a 12-year-old house maid and that the child later fell sick and died suddenly in her absence.

Sources closed to the family also said that Juliana gave birth to 2 children for Ebenezer in November 2017 and August 2020 respectively and that he has since claimed the responsibility by paying their school fees.

The husband, Mr. Daniel who does not know that the two children are not his “biological children”  regrets that have also been paying their school fees as the wife has misled him into believing that the 2 children are also his.

” Not only that, I have spent huge amount of money during the delivery of last born in August 2020 and did not know that it was somebody else that impregnated her.

” Very disturbing,   anytime I visit them, she pretends to be caring,  and monitors me closely, and does not allow me to go outside alone,” he said.
