Popular gospel singer, Sammie Okposo has issued a public apology to his wife, Obioma for cheating on her with another women while on a trip to the United States.
The singer who shared the apology on his Instagram page regretted his action and disclosed that it happened in 2021.
Okposo added that the sin made him step aside from ministerial work until he has undergone “full restitution.”
Sammie’s apology comes barely 24 hours after an American-based woman, identified as African Doll accused the ‘Welu Welu’ singer of getting intimate with her and leaving her pregnant.
African Doll made the revelation on Monday to a Youtube content creator, Obodo Oyibo TV. She said that Okpozo abandoned her after she told him she was pregnant.
In his reaction, he said he is ashamed of his action and regrets the pain he has caused his wife and the embarrassment to his mentors and family who helped him rise to fame.
The apology:
“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 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.
“I want to take this moment and apologize 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….
“Sammie Okposo”.
