Popular gospel artiste, Sammie Okposo has taken his wife, Ozioma on a foreign vacation to Mexico.
This comes after a scandalous affair with an American lady, African Doll with whom he engaged in a wild romantic affair while on gospel music ministrations to the US.
The relationship left the lady pregnant while Okposo tried in vain to make her to abort it.
Having been completely ignored and bullied by the artiste, she decided to go public. The development left the artiste disgraced and distraught as many of his fans berated him mercilessly.

Shows he had been booked for delisted him and he decided to step away from the music stage to undergo “full restitution.”.
The popular gospel singer then undertook to tender a public apology to his wife, mentors, mentees and fans.
The apology:
“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 me.
“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 behaviour 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”
