Dunamis Church Pastor, Enenche Under Fire For Publicly Calling Member Liar During Testimony

Dunamis International Gospel Centre has come under fire from many Nigerians on social media after a viral video surfaced showing its Senior Pastor, Dr Paul Enenche, confronting a woman during her testimony.

The woman, known as Anyim Vera, had climbed the altar at the popular church in Abuja to share her testimony on Sunday.

She claimed to be the first graduate in her family, stating that she obtained a BSc in law.

“I’m the first graduate in my family. My siblings did not get to tertiary institutions due to some reasons. I was supposed to study Law for five years at the National Open University of Nigeria. However, I encountered some challenges that made me have an extra year,” she said.

In his reaction, Pastor Enenche openly pointed out that there’s no such degree as a BSc in law, casting doubt on her testimony.

The pastor had asked her to return to her seat and warned people against stepping on the altar to lie.

“So the testimony is a lie. Is that how lawyers speak English? When she started that testimony, I knew there was something wrong,” he said.

However, receipts in the form of Vera’s graduation pictures and official documentation have emerged.

The development has sparked widespread public outrage, with many Nigerians demanding a public apology from Pastor Enenche and the church.

One Philux Ibrahim, writing via Facebook, said: “We stand by this woman and the church needs to apologize on same stage for the embarrassing moment they caused her. Congratulation ma’am. Make una the appreciate God for una house and professors were help una but una say no oo na church of men una de go.”

Emmanuel Erondu said: “Congratulations madam. That man of God needs to be sued for public disgrace”

Ifeanyi Chuks wrote: “Men of God in our country do no wrong… Very annoying as people don’t verify things before jumping into conclusion.”

Ugochi Juliet said: “it could be stage fright, it’s not everyone can stand the crowd in that church and testify. Again Pastor asking her questions on that altar can make one say another thing self….”

Holuwah Busayomi: “That man need to apologise to her.”

Sandra Onyekwere: “She should leave that church sharply. What a terrible thing for a so called man of God to do.”

Juliet Chioma Agu: “Dr. Paul Enenche you owe her a public apology. She couldn’t express herself quite alright but then you should apologize to her publicly for the public embarrassment.”

Deb Adom: “Please Dunamis International Gospel Centre you people should tender an apology to this woman please.”

Ojo Chenemi: “I really felt bad. Cuz I put myself in her shoes. There should be public apology from Dr. Paul Enenche.”
