Tope Alabi
This is another renowned gospel sensation who has been accused and allegedly involved in a cheating scandal.
Rumours had it that in 2013, Tope was in a relationship with her then “spiritual father”, Prophet Ajanaku.
However, a fight broke out, and it was alleged that “sex” was the reason behind their split.
Prophet Ajanaku disclosed, ” I’m wondering if she’s being foolish or just stupid. I remember when she was putting pressure on me to have sex with her. She did not hide her urge to have sexual relationship with me…”
Reacting to this, Tope and her husband Soji denied the claims!
Sammie Okposo (Nigerian gospel singers)
The legendary gospel minister also has several cases of infidelity that have been ongoing for quite some years.
Of recent, Sammie got into the news again, with another case of infidelity.
A US-based lady, African Doll called out the singer on the 24th of January, claiming that Sammie and she had an affair while he was on a tour in the US, in December. The singer got her pregnant and turned his back on her.
Her outrage was immediately followed by an apology tendered by Sammie Okposo to his wife and others while confessing about an intimate relationship he had with a woman when he traveled to the US.
A part reads; “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. I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and me…”
