Reno Omokri has responded to the apology issued by the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Center, Paul Enenche, to Miss Vera Anyim.
Enenche had previously accused Vera of lying when she testified about obtaining a BSc in law. Vera, who stated during a Live Sunday service at Dunamis that she graduated from the National Open University of Nigeria after a decade, was called out by Pastor Enenche for allegedly lying.
A video circulating on social media captured the moment the senior pastor interrupted her testimony, disputing her claim of having a BSc in law.
Following the incident, many Nigerians took to the internet to express their concerns and demand an apology from the pastor to Vera. The church has since apologized, clarifying that the misunderstanding was unintentional.
Reno Omokri praised Enenche on his Facebook page for taking responsibility for his mistakes and making amends with Vera Anyim.
Omokri also highlighted the pastor’s apology as a display of Christlike behavior, emphasizing the redemptive nature of the situation.
“Miss Anyim is now fully vindicated as a bonafide graduate of law, and a recipient of God’s grace.
“I urge every member of Pastor Paul Enenche’s congregation, whose faith was challenged to be encouraged by this. Their pastor has, by his exemplary conduct, shown that love is stronger than pride.
“I pray that God blessed Miss Vera Anyim and Pastor Paul Enenche and give them the desires of their hearts, in Yeshua’s Name”, the post added.
In response, Enenche explained that his actions were motivated by his and the church’s commitment to excellence and truthfulness.
Through his Assistant, Sylvester Edoh, Enenche confirmed that he has personally reached out to Vera.
A statement signed by Edoh stated:
“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 said scenario:First, listening to the testifier’s expressions as it borders on basic spoken English, conveys 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.”
