Sex Scandal: Dunamis Church removes Sammie Okposo from Ministers’ list

Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, has yanked off embattled gospel singer, Sammie Okposo from the list of artists participating in the Church’s music concert billed for Friday following the adultery scandal.

A new flyer posted on the Ministry’s Instagram page shows that the singer whose name was previously listed to perform has been removed.

This comes after the singer confessed and publicly apologized for cheating on his wife Ozioma with a US-based lady.

Apologizing in an Instagram post, Sammie wrote: ”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 I.

“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.”

Addressing his wife Ozioma, he said, “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.”
