Gospel singer Sammie Okposo has taken down his apology to his wife, fans and congregation less than 24 hours after making the post on Instagram.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Qed.ng noticed that the apology post was no longer on his Instagram page.
The post which was published on Tuesday, January 25, contained an appeal for forgiveness from his wife, family, friends and fans over his ex-marital affair with a US-based lady identified as African Doll.
In the statement, he said: “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 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.”
Meanwhile, Dumanis International Gospel Centre has removed Okposo’s name from the list of gospel artistes slated to minister at a concert on Friday, January 28, 2022.
