Infidelity: Dunamis Blacklist Sammie Okposo from Gospel Concert

Dumanis International Church has dropped Gospel Sammie Okposo from performing at the Church Gospel Concert in Abuja.

While the church did not make their reason known, It would be recall that Okposo had been in an extra marital affair with African Doll when she broke the news of her pregnancy on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Okposo, has taken down a post on Instagram in which he apologised to his wife and supporters after news broke out that he got a US-based lady pregnant.

The lady identified as African Doll, had on Monday called out the singer, saying he abandoned her after learning that their affair had led to pregnancy.

”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,” she told Obodo Oyinbo TV.

On the plans she has 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.”

The lady’s allegation was followed by an apology from Sammie Okposo, which has now been deleted 24 hours after he posted it.

The singer’s apology read in part, “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 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 forth.”

Threat to Church: Groups Condemn Sowore’s ‘Buhari Must Go’ Protest

A coalition of Christian youths have condemned in totality the evil plot by self acclaimed human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore  to destabilize the church by staging a political protest in Dunamis Church.

The groups in a communique signed by Amb. Phil Roberts issued on Wednesday which was obtained by THE SUMMIT, said that the meeting was aimed at bringing Christian youths together to unify the church and Nigeria irrespective of prevailing challenges.

The groups called on all youth bodies to dissociate themselves from politics of religion and ethnicity, bearing in mind that religion and ethnicity will only fuel needless tension and pull us farther apart as a people.

The communique read in part, “We condemn the evil plot by the self-acclaimed human right activist, Omoyele Sowore to destabilize the church by staging a political protest in Dunamis Church on Sunday, 4th July, 2021. Sowore in his own statement shamelessly denied the conduct of any protest, even while he was live streaming the same protest with the caption, “BUHARI MUST GO Campaign Hits Dunamis Church in Abuja.”

Sowore continued tirades against the church is part of his desperate ploy to whip up sentiment, sway public opinion, elicit public sympathy, all with the heinous intention for blackmail.

“We condemn in totality, the campaign of calumny and media war being waged against the church by Sowore and his cohorts. Even though the DSS admitted to arresting the boys, Sowore remains brazenly relentless in his evil campaign to smear the name of the church and the revered man of God.”

The groups questioned the rationale behind the protest, expressing worries that a protest against the government is being staged in the church.

“Come to think of it, what could have been the rationale behind his leading a protest against the government to a church? Is the church the seat of government? Who is Sowore protesting against, the church or the government? We implore everyone to critically look into the above questions and satisfy their conscience with balanced and objective answers via a vis what sowore and his people have been posting online,” the communique read

The groups further stated that, the collective yearning for positive change and leadership transformation in the land takes the centre stage but however, engagement in the quest for change should be done in an orderly and civilized manner.

“Sowore’s congenital disposition to delinquency, lawlessness, rascality and venality detracts from our collective hope and aspiration for honest, sincere, and transparent leadership. 

Sowore’s Mephistophelian quest for fame remains the only driver of his actions even against reason, public interest and progress. His conducts are often at variance with the interest of the very people he is ostensibly fighting for.

“We won’t be cowed into embracing anarchy in our quest for change, and so, the youths should avoid the societal plague called Sowore. People like him should be avoided and denigrated, not embraced and celebrated,” the communique added

The groups therefore called on church leaders to rise up to the occasion and speak for the church so as not to allow an uncultured, irreligious political delinquent, sustain his unwarranted attacks on the church adding that he should not be allowed to infest Christian youths with his moral degeneracy, political rascality and ethical bankruptcy.

The groups also urged the Nigerian Government to call Sowore to order. The groups in the communique, also implored Nigerians to read facts and refuse to be swayed by hateful sentiments by a drowning man like Sowore

“We therefore call on the Nigerian Government to do their job and call Sowore to order. We are shocked that he is still prowling around causing more havoc even while he has many unending cases in courts on account of his antecedent recklessness, crookedness and waywardness.

“As the youths of Nigeria, we implore everyone to read facts, maintain objectivity and refuse to be swayed by hateful sentiments being peddled by self-seeking charlatans and political nonentities. We will never allow a drowning man like Sowore pull others into his swirling pool of political misdirection, hopelessness and woes.

“We are, therefore, sending a note of warning to Sowore and his cohorts to desist from further campaign of calumny against the church of Jesus Christ and revered servants of God, if they have a modicum of character and sense,” the communique read
