Televangelist Benny Hinn and Wife Finalize Divorce After 46 Years

Celebrity televangelist Benny Hinn and his wife, Suzanne, have legally ended their marriage for a second time, finalizing an uncontested divorce in Florida after 46 years together, according to court documents.

Benny Hinn, the prominent American televangelist known for his global healing ministry, and his wife Suzanne have officially divorced. Court records from Hillsborough County, Florida, show the marriage was dissolved on November 19 in an uncontested proceeding.

This marks the second dissolution of their union. Suzanne Hinn initially filed for divorce in 2010, but the couple reconciled and remarried in 2013. She filed again in mid-2024, a period during which the pair had been living more than 60 miles apart.

In a statement, Benny Hinn’s attorney, Damon Chase, characterized the split as amicable. Chase stated that Hinn was not the party who requested the divorce and emphasized that the former couple "remains close," describing their bond as a "deep, soulmate type of love." He added that they continue to pray together and are both active in Christian ministry, citing undisclosed personal reasons for the separation.

The couple, who married in 1979 and share four children, have faced public scrutiny over their relationship in the past. Their first divorce proceeding drew media attention following published photos of Benny Hinn with fellow televangelist Paula White, though Hinn denied any affair. He later attributed the initial split to Suzanne's dependence on prescription medication.

Details of the latest settlement remain private, as the court filings are sealed. Suzanne Hinn’s attorney declined to comment on the case.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...

Intelligence-led operation in Jebba uncovers healthcare professional allegedly aiding criminal networks. In a significant breakthrough, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a licensed medical doctor for his alleged role in supporting kidnapping gangs terrorizing parts of Kwara State.
