Renowned Nigerian gospel singer, Okposo, apologizes to fans, wife for impregnating U.S-based lady
Sammie Okposo, a renowned Gospel musician, has issued a public apology to his fans, wife and members of his family after he confirmed to have impregnated a Nigerian lady based in the United States.
Okposo, a multiple award winning musician, took to his instagram handle to confess that he was involved in an extramarital affair while he was away in the U.S.
Okposo’s apology follows the revelation on Monday by a US-based Nigerian lady, African Doll, that the recording artiste impregnated and abandoned her.
Doll who appeared on Obodo Oyinbo TV in an interview program had claimed that she had sexual intercourse with the award winning gospel artiste, during his visit to Texas, United States of America in 2021.
She further revealed that she and Okposo messed around during the visit after which she discovered that she was pregnant and told Sammie about it but he told her to abort it but she refused.
“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.
“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 will be taking a break from the music industry as well as his ministry as I need to seek forgiveness and restoration on his altar.
“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 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,” Okposo wrote.
