Gospel Singer Sammie Okposo Tenders Public Apology For Infidelity, Suspends Himself From Ministry

Nigerian gospel singer Sammie Okposo has apologised to his wife and family for having an extramarital affair.⁣
⁣
The music star took to his Instagram page on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, where he penned the apology.⁣
⁣
“I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your attention as I am not proud of it but 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,” he wrote.⁣
⁣
“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.”⁣
⁣
The Delta State-born singer went on to announce that he’ll be taking a break from the ministry’s work to seek restoration.⁣
⁣
“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 added.⁣
⁣
He then tendered an apology to his wife, Ozioma for the disgrace and embarrassment his actions caused.⁣
⁣
“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 judgment 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,” he appealed.⁣
⁣
Okposo’s apology is coming barely 24 hours after a lady by the alias African Dull accused him of impregnating her.⁣
⁣
According to the lady, she met the singer in Dallas, United States of America, during one of his tours.⁣
⁣
They became close and started an affair which led to the pregnancy.⁣
