Edwina Jamiru, the woman at the center of a high-profile paternity dispute with Appeals Court Judge Justice Mohamed Alhassan Momoh-Jah Stevens, has expressed deep disappointment after allegedly being prevented from giving a public testimony at Winners Chapel during Sunday’s service.
Jamiru stated she had intended to publicly thank God for her recent legal victory, which saw Justice Stevens ordered to pay NLe 10,000 in monthly child support following conclusive DNA test results.
According to Jamiru, she was full of joy and wanted to publicly appreciate God for standing by her through the storm of the highly publicized case.
“I was stopped by certain members of the church from giving my testimony about what God has done for me in my case,” she said. She claims she was stopped by some church leaders and pastors who discouraged her from speaking in front of the congregation, claiming it “wasn’t necessary”.
Expressing her frustration, Jamiru described the experience as “heartbreaking,” stating that “There is too much evil in the world, even in the house of God. When you try to glorify God, they try to silence you”. She has since called on Bishop Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Winners Chapel, to intervene.
The alleged incident occurred just days after the High Court ruled on the child maintenance matter, following DNA tests that confirmed Justice Stevens’ paternity with a certainty of 99.999%.
The case, which started publicly in December 2024, has drawn considerable national attention and led to Justice Stevens being placed on administrative leave by the Chief Justice in late September 2025.
