Nigerian gospel artiste Sammie Okposo has apologized to his family for having an extramarital affair.
His apology comes barely 24 hours after he had been accused by a lady alias African Doll of impregnating her.
The gospel minister confessed that the affair took place on one of his recent trips to the United States in late 2021.
The music star took to his Instagram page on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, to tender a public apology to his wife and family.

He wrote, “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.”
He added that he would be suspending himself from all ministry work until full restoration as it is the proper thing to do.
“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.”
“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.”
He concluded by apologizing to other gospel ministers, fathers and mothers of the faith and people who are part of his ministry for disappointing them.
