*Sammie Okposo Died Barely A Year Of Infidelity Saga*
In January this year, the news filtered in that the Niger Delta born musician had cheated on his wife, in what came as a shock to most Nigerians , giving that he was a gospel Minister.
Okposo owned up to the act and later tendered a public apology to his lovely wife, Ozioma and the general public,saying it happened when he traveled to the United States.
The “Welu welu Master” as he is called took to his Instagram to tender the apology.
He wrote, “Dear Friends, I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your attention as I am not proud of it but know that this is the right thing to do.
“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.
“As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking 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 forth.
“I want to take this moment and apologise to all fathers and mothers of the Faith and ministers of the Gospel for my behavior and moral failure.
“I won’t be here if not for your investment and belief in what God has called me to do. I sincerely apologize for this embarrassing situation.
“To all that have been a part of my ministry, followed my ministry or know me personally, I am truly sorry for disappointing you.
“I regret any pain or disappointment that this news of my moral failure and poor judgement may cause you and I am truly sorry for disappointing you.
“I humbly ask that you continue to pray for me.”
The apology came barely 24 hours after an American-based woman, identified as African Doll, accused the singer of impregnating her.
The woman had disclosed while talking to a YouTuber on Obodo Oyibo TV, that Okposo abandoned her after she told him about the pregnancy.
