Nigerian gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, has tendered a public apology to his wife, Ozioma, for cheating on her while he was in the United States.
This was done via his Instagram page where he stated that he was ashamed of his action and regrets it as it has caused a lot of pain to his wife and family.
He wrote, “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.”
He also apologized to his wife, fans, fathers and mothers of the faith, ministers of the gospel and everyone he has disappointed and embarrassed.
“To my wife, Ozioma, I am sincerely sorry. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgment is important to me.”
However, the US-based lady who he allegedly impregnated revealed she will keep the baby.
The lady, known as African Doll, had on Monday called out the singer, saying though they were both wrong, Okposo did not handle the issue properly.
She said, “We both know that we didn’t use protection. We both know that we were wrong. There is still a way to handle things. He didn’t handle it right. I am not saying he has to bow to me but there is a way you do things.
“Turning your back on me is wrong. Any woman on earth won’t feel okay about it. It doesn’t feel good to be abandoned or to be thrown to the side. I cannot be walking around thinking about it, life goes on.”
On her plans for the pregnancy, African Doll said, “I will keep the baby, I don’t really believe in abortion. Fornication is a sin. The bible says he who is without sin should cast the first stone. It is not my intention to hurt anybody but to bring life to the situation.”
Many social media users expressed mixed reactions about Okposo’s involvement in the act of infidelity.
