By Nigerian gospel singer, Sammie Okposo has publicly confessed to cheating on his wife during a trip to the United States, describing the act as unfortunate.
In a statement on his Instagram page on Tuesday, the pastor tendered a public apology to his wife, Ozioma and fans for the embarrassment his actions have caused.
“On my recent trip to the USA (late 2021), I got intimately involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man and a minister of the gospel.
“I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and I,” he wrote.
Okposo stated that as part of his efforts to make peace with God, he has suspended himself from “ministry activities”.
The minister of gospel said, “As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking for His forgiveness, I am suspending myself from all ministry work until full restoration as this is what is proper and what I know I owe God and His people.
“To my wife, Ozioma. I am sincerely sorry I put you through this shameful and embarrassing situation. I broke your trust and disappointed you. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgement is important to me. I pray I will eventually be able to build back the trust and confidence every single day for the rest of my life.”
The singer’s public confession comes barely 24 hours after a US-based woman accused him of absconding after impregnating her.
The woman, identified as African Doll, made this known during an interview with Obodo Oyibo TV, on Monday. Her claims immediately set tongues wagging on social media as many Nigerians berated Okposo for his infidelity.
