Veteran Nollywood actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, has issued a strong public rebuttal against serious allegations made by Apostle Psalm Okpe, the founder of Fresh Oil Ministry. In a detailed online statement, Anunobi described the cleric's claims as false, malicious, and a direct threat to her safety.
Anunobi's Fears and Firm Denial
In a video shared on her social media platforms, Anunobi expressed deep concern for her personal security following the allegations. Apostle Okpe had claimed that he dated the actress for five years and six months and that they were sexually intimate during that period. Anunobi categorically denied this, stating her life is now at risk because of these statements.
She revealed that Apostle Okpe was the minister who ordained her into ministry, and she served under him as an associate pastor. However, their professional relationship soured. Anunobi explained that she began to observe what she termed evil, demonic practices and a transactional approach to ministry within the church, which led her to request to leave in late 2015.
A History of Conflict and a Medical Challenge
Despite her exit, Anunobi alleged that Okpe continued to tell people for years that she was still under his ministry. She emphasized that the recent allegations have caused her severe emotional distress and damaged her reputation as a public figure and a minister.
In a stunning challenge, Anunobi declared her readiness to undergo a medical examination to prove her innocence. She stated, "I am ready to be taken for medical examination to ascertain if I have had sex in almost 14 years since I was ordained." This bold claim has captured significant public attention.
Legal Threats and Public Support
The actress and evangelist has threatened to pursue legal action against Apostle Psalm Okpe. In a strongly worded warning, she held him responsible for any harm that might come to her, her family, or her property, whether in Nigeria or abroad.
Public reaction to her video has been largely supportive. Many fans and followers praised her calm and dignified demeanor in delivering her message. Comments on social media platforms expressed love and solidarity, with users affirming their trust in her and condemning the scandal within religious circles.
This incident adds to the ongoing conversations about morality, accountability, and conflict within Nigerian religious and celebrity spaces. Anunobi's firm stance and threat of legal recourse mark a significant escalation in addressing such personal allegations publicly.
