The music star took to his Instagram page on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, where he penned the apology.
"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," he wrote.

"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."
The Delta State-born singer went on to announce that he'll be taking a break from the ministry's work to seek restoration.
"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.
