According to him, he had a sexual relationship with the lady while on a trip abroad adding that he is ashamed and regrets his decision.
He however suspended himself from the ministry work to seek restoration and also tendered an apology to his wife, Ozioma for the disgrace and embarrassment his actions caused.
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. 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,” he added.
“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 appealed.
Okposo’s apology is coming barely 24 hours after a lady by the alias African Dull accused him of impregnating her.
According to the lady, she met the singer in Dallas, United States of America, during one of his tours.
They became close and started an affair which led to the pregnancy.
African Dull during a chat with ‘Obodo TV’ said the music star’s attitude changed after she told him she was pregnant.
