Vera Anyim, the woman who was publicly corrected for her testimony at Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja, has stated that she harbors no ill feelings toward the church or its senior pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche.
The incident, which occurred during a service at the church’s Glory Dome, involved Anyim being interrupted by Enenche, who questioned the accuracy of her claiming to have earned a “BSc in Law” from the National Open University of Nigeria.
The correction swiftly attracted widespread attention, with many on social media advocating for an apology from Enenche. The matter escalated when a video of the exchange went viral, showcasing the pastor interrupting Anyim’s testimony due to what he perceived as factual inaccuracies regarding her educational qualifications and the nature of her degree.
Following the incident, Anyim met with Pastor Enenche and his wife, Becky, describing the meeting as warm and reaffirming her commitment to the church. “I don’t have any grudge against the church or them. I remain committed to serving God as a member of Dunamis Church,” Anyim expressed in a Facebook post, alongside photos from the meeting.
The church also issued a statement explaining that the actions taken during the service were due to concerns about the clarity of Anyim’s academic credentials and her proficiency in English, which seemed at odds with her claims of having graduated in Law. The church emphasized that the interruption was not intended to embarrass Anyim but was a reaction to perceived discrepancies in her testimony.
Despite the initial controversy, Anyim has urged the public to move forward and focus on peace, appreciating the support from the community during the incident. The church reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining standards of excellence and integrity, acknowledging that the situation was resolved following verification of Anyim’s graduation.
