BREAKING: Dunamis Church Pastor, Enenche Facing Backlashes Says He Never Intended To Insult, Embarass Woman, Veronica During Testimony

The Senior Pastor of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), Paul Enenche has tendered an apology to a church member, Anyim Vera for calling her a "liar" while sharing her testimony as the first graduate in "BSc in Law" in their family.

There has been public outrage over the way and manner the senior pastor publicly embarrassed the woman when he questioned her academic achievement while sharing her testimony on Sunday.

In a statement signed by the Personal Assistant/Secretary to the Senior Pastor of the Church, Sylvester Edoh, obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday in Abuja, the church regretted the inconvenience, hurt and embarrassment the unfortunate scenario had caused Ms Anyim Veronica.

The statement said that embarrassing the testifier publicly was never intended and that the action of the Senior Pastor was based on his and the church's aversion to seeming mediocrity and any appearance of untruth.

The statement noted that no harm was intended by the Senior Pastor against the testifier and that the Senior Pastor felt deeply concerned and had already reached out to her

The statement read "AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON MS ANYIM VERONICA NNENNA’S TESTIMONY."

"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 ion 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 Ms Anyim Veronica Nnenna. We remain committed to her physical welfare as well as her spiritual growth."

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.

If say the lady na minister wife, you for talk to her like that? Poor people don suffer for una hand.

Madam, I hope say the alert heavy?

Even this their statement showcase pride and arrogance. I am yet to see an apology to the disgraced lady.

People should alway read out their own statements to themselves before making it public.

What do I even know.

What is Christianity becoming these days. Well it has always been like that; master-slave relationship where the master cannot do anything wrong and cannot be corrected but worshipped as a god.

Edited: someone asked in the comment section:

Babbyad:
Would Jesus have behaved that way by embarrassing the woman?

Where was the descernment of the Holy Spirit as used to claim?

In summary what they are saying is that it is not the pastors fault. It is the fault of the woman.

What is really disturbing here is how the church have taken to mocking this lady. Church fa! All thise who have sympathized with her are from outside the church, and the church is labelling them "haters"

The statement said that embarrassing the testifier publicly was never intended and that the action of the Senior Pastor was based on his and the church's aversion to seeming mediocrity

If you don't want poor people(aka mediocre) to give testimony, screen them ahead of time.
Don't embarrass them in public.

From her looks and demeanour, that woman may be a dyslexic/autist who struggled to graduate.
She has gone through enough only to be humiliated by the "man of god" turned detective.
SMH

If it is perceived that you are lying. It is better to just stop you at the moment. Especially when everyone in the church perceive that you are lying.

The problem starts from NOUN.

Basic spoken English as a lawyer-L(maybe stage fright)
Didn't know her department and what she studied -L

Studied Law for 10 years-L
Lastly I've never been to NOUN so I believe they let you study at your own pace...No?

There was nothing wrong in what God's Servant Pst Paul Eneche did in trying to question the Testimony of our Sister as it didnt sound right.

Probably due to stage freight or something of that nature, our sister made some Error in testifying what God did for her.

To GOD be the Glory , Every doubt has been Cleared.
Sister, sorry for the inconveniences. It is one of the things done to Ensure every doubts are cleared.


98% of those complaning and making noise are people who do not even care about GOD.
They just want to make noise and find a way to insult the Church.

jmoore:
Bla bla bla.

You have reached out to her?

You embarrassed her in public. You should apologize in same public.

Hope this makes you Happy

she didn't even know her department and what course she studied.
People who go to NOUN do not care about all these things or it's not mentioned to them.

Another babablu bulabu.

How is it from NOUN?

So a law student will go and a 2nd year Chemistry course?

Every student in all universities have ission offer letter that clearly states their programme.

All the Anti christs should now rest

These men want turn to some god! I thought jesus christ was very humble.

I've reached out to her – Pastor Enenche shares step taken to pacify lady he accused of giving fake testimony

Social media's turned into a battleground of verbal clashes between the camp faulting Anyim Vera for her linguistic slip-ups, accusing her of mixing up Pastor Enenche and others with her academic claims of being a law graduate, and those siding with the view that the Nigerian cleric went too far by publicly shaming his church member in front of everyone. Pastor Enenche has now disclosed that he's extended an olive branch to her, and spilled the tea on the measures taken to patch things up.

Why are you dragging NOUN into this?

The woman should to her fellow lawyer let's have a scapegoat like Mr Bob omo to risky

The Pastor have reached out to Her, case closed

Na their palava be that

Nice

Apologise first sir. This you have done. Peace.

These people make me to wonder if truly religion is not a scam. At least as a man of God there should be something like premonition to tell u if truly u are serving true God and u are the senior minister of most high God. If our fore fathers that served and worshipped IFA can see from afar what's to come and true situation of things then how do we get here. Well, who I'm I to say further.

Another pastorprenual fraudster.

If you don't know how to package your lies with big big English, you have no business attending these new generation churches.

I've never rated them.

All they do there is compete against each other over who wears the best suit, latest designer gown, latest faragamo shoe and who just bought the latest car.

They do all these while fvcking each other with reckless abandon. From the resident zaddy to the choiristers to the church workers to the youth fellowship down to the floor .

All they do is basically fvck.

Useless, perverted lots

Righthussle:

They said he has apologized, but you are still crying

This is damage control. As an MOG that he claims to be, the spirit of God should have informed him that the woman was telling the truth, instead of making her out a liar and embarrassing her.

Nice move Pastor, these apologies will water down the situation.

God bless Ayim Vera

The rude pastor couldn't even tender a clear apology. Instead, he's hiding behind the lady's lack of eloquence and attempting to justify his inappropriate actions. Pastors continuing to put out embarrassing behaviour as usual.

And so-called pastor said someone else wasn't eloquent. What about this letter? Looking crass and error-filled.

Campaign

That's very good. It's one thing to make a mistake, it's another thing to it and try to make amends with those you hurt.
