Vera Anyim, the lady who testified at Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, has apologized to Nigerians after she was dragged on social media for seeking financial support to secure accommodation due to her acclaimed ''celebrity status''.
TORI reported that Anyim, in a viral video last Thursday, described herself as a celebrity and called on Nigerians to help her secure a new accommodation.
However, many Nigerians frowned at Anyim’s appeal for financial support, and it earned her several backlash.
Reacting to the criticisms online, Anyim posted a public apology on Sunday via her Facebook page, explaining that she was trying to protect herself from fear of being kidnapped.
She wrote, “I’m sorry for seeking public support regarding my accommodation it was because I wasn’t feeling safe and the fear of being kidnapped because everyone around thought I was given plenty money from Port Harcourt and this whole thing I wasn’t ready for it. I didn’t force anyone, please forgive me.”
Recall that Anyim became a sensation online when she mounted the pulpit of Dunamis to testify after successfully graduating with a “Bachelor of Law” degree from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) on Saturday, April 13.
During her testimony, Pastor Enenche interrupted her, accusing the lady of lying.
The clergyman told her that she didn’t sound like a law graduate judging by her speech.
The incident ignited reactions on social media when it was discovered that the testimony was genuine.
Some called on Enenche to apologise for his actions, while others defended his stance.
The church apologised to Anyim, stating that the Senior Pastor’s actions were driven by a dedication to maintaining standards of excellence and integrity within the church community.
