Pastor Paul Enenche led Dunamis International Gospel Church has rendered an apology for wrongly accusing church member, Veronica Anyim of giving what the senior pastor described as false testimony.
In a statement signed on behalf of Enenche by Sylvester Edoh, a
Personal Assistant/Secretary to the Senior Pastor, said Anyim unable to state exactly what the correct degree was for law which is LLB, instead of ‘BSc in Law’ which is largely unknown as a Law degree in Nigeria and possibly globally, prompted the Senior Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche to stop the testimony immediately as a product of a lie.
The church however pointed out that embarrassing the testifier publicly with the attendant media frenzy was never intended as whatever happened was on the spur of the moment.
The church admitted that it later confirmed that she actually graduated from the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN.
See their full statement below:
A scenario was created on Sunday the 14th April, 2024 at the Glory Dome, the Global Headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, when Ms Anyim Veronica Nnenna came out to testify of how God helped her graduate from the university, thus making her the first person to attain that feat in her family.
These were the immediate triggers for the following scenario:
First, listening to the testifier’s expressions as it borders on basic spoken English, conveyed the impression that the minimum standard expectation of a graduate especially a graduate of law was not met.
Second, stating that she studied Law for 10 years begged the question of what her degree actually was.
Third, she was unable to state exactly what the correct degree was for law which is LLB, rather she said it was a ‘BSc in Law’ which is largely unknown as a Law degree in Nigeria and possibly globally.
These prompted the Senior Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche to stop the testimony immediately as a product of a lie.
However, relief came when it was later confirmed that she actually graduated from a university
It must be pointed out clearly here that embarrassing the testifier publicly with the attendant media frenzy was never intended. Whatever happened was under the spur of the moment.
The action of the Senior Pastor was rather based on his and the church’s aversion to seeming mediocrity and any appearance of untruth.
While we remain resolute in our passion for excellence, intolerance of mediocrity and falsehood, we wish to reiterate the fact that no harm or hurt was ever intended by the Senior Pastor against Ms. Anyim Veronica. The Senior Pastor feels deeply concerned and had already reached out to her.
As a Commission, we regret every inconvenience, hurt and embarrassment this unfortunate scenario has caused to Ms Anyim Veronica Nnenna. We remain committed to her physical welfare as well as her spiritual growth.
