Nigerian gospel singer Sammie Okposo has deleted his Instagram and Twitter pages in the heat of a scandalous adulterous affair.
The gospel singer had on Tuesday released a statement via his Instagram page apologizing to his wife for having an affair in 2021 while in America on a music tour. This came barely 24 hours after an American-based woman, African Doll revealed in an interview that she had an affair with the singer which has resulted in pregnancy.
Sammie Okposo’s statement read in part; “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.”
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 later deleted the statement.
Sammie Okposo is a gospel singer and minister with several hit songs.
