In a recent incident at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, a woman named Vera Anyim found herself at the center of a controversy after being interrupted by the church’s Senior Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche, during her testimony. Anyim had claimed to have graduated with a “Bsc in Law” from the National Open University of Nigeria, but Enenche disputed her statement, leading to her being asked to leave the pulpit.
The incident sparked a wave of reactions online, with many demanding an apology from the pastor. However, Anyim took to her Facebook page to express that she holds no grudge against the church or its leaders. She shared that she had a positive meeting with Dr. Paul Enenche and his wife, Becky, and remains committed to serving God as a member of Dunamis Church.
The church also released a statement addressing the issue, explaining that concerns had arisen regarding Anyim’s language proficiency and the clarity of her academic credentials during her testimony. The statement emphasized the church’s commitment to upholding standards of excellence and integrity within the community.
Despite the initial misunderstanding, it was later confirmed that Anyim did graduate from a university, and the church expressed regret for any inconvenience or embarrassment caused to her. Photos confirming her graduation from the National Open University of Nigeria were shared online, validating her claims.
In response to the treatment she received, Anyim expressed her disappointment at being labeled a liar and disgraced by her spiritual leader. She clarified that she actually graduated with a Third Class from NOUN and emphasized the importance of not looking down on others.
Overall, the incident serves as a reminder of the power of forgiveness and understanding in the face of misunderstandings. It highlights the importance of communication and empathy in resolving conflicts and moving forward positively.
