The woman who was accused of lying while giving testimony at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, Vera Anyim, has said she bears no grudge against the church.
This followed the controversy that trailed the treatment that was meted out to her by the church’s Senior Pastor, Dr Paul Enenche, on Sunday.
In a video that emerged online, Anyim, during her testimony in the church, said she graduated with a “Bsc in Law” from the National Open University of Nigeria.
She was however interrupted by Enenche who said she was lying. The pastor also questioned the credibility of the woman’s testimony while he chided her on how she spoke.
Enenche who said there was nothing like “Bsc in Law” immediately asked her to leave the pulpit.
The action however generated a flurry of reactions as netizens demanded an apology from the cleric.
But Anyim, in a post on her Facebook page on Monday, said she had put the situation behind her.
She made the statement after meeting Enenche and his wife, Becky.
Sharing photos from the meeting, she wrote, “I want to inform the whole world that I just had a warm meeting with my spiritual father and mother, Dr Paul Enenche, and Dr Becky Enenche.
“I don’t have any grudge against the church or them. I remain committed to serving God as a member of Dunamis Church.
“I am thankful for the concern of the public.
“I have put the situation at my back, and I have moved forward, and I want everybody to do the same. Peace.”
The church in a statement on Monday said it reached out to Anyim over the issue, while it explained that concerns arose during her testimony at the Glory Dome on April 14, 2024, regarding her language proficiency and the clarity of her academic credentials.
It stated that her speech suggested a level of English proficiency below what might be expected of a university graduate, particularly one with a Law degree, while noting that discrepancies also emerged regarding the nature and duration of her academic pursuit, raising doubts about the legitimacy of her qualifications.
