Vera Anyim, the lady who became famous following the controversy that trailed her recent testimony at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, has tendered a public apology after asking Nigerians for support to secure accommodation.
The PUNCH reports that Nigerians knocked Anyim for seeking support to secure accommodation.
In a video that became viral last Thursday, Anyim who described herself as a celebrity., called on Nigerians to help her secure a new accommodation.
Reacting to her call for help, several Nigerians expressed shock at her request.
Following the backlash, Anyim has tendered a public apology, explaining that everything happened so fast and she was trying to protect herself.
“I’m sorry for seeking public support regarding my accommodation it was because I wasn’t feeling safe and the fear of being kidnapped because everyone around thought I was given plenty money from Port Harcourt and this whole thing I wasn’t ready for it. I didn’t force anyone, please forgive me,” she wrote on Facebook.
Recall that before this, the Senior Pastor of the church, Paul Enenche, interrupted Vera’s testimony of being a law graduate of the Open University of Nigeria in a viral video on social media.
Enenche tagged her testimony as a lie. This, however, did not sit well with Nigerians who demanded an apology from the pastor.
The church, however, apologised to Anyim after the public backlash.
Anyim was offered a sponsored vacation at Portland Resorts Hotel in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
However, on her return, she claimed that her residence was no longer safe.
“I want to say to Nigerians, you know this thing that happened is a thing of joy, I never dreamed of it, it came this moment, I never dreamed of being a celebrity.
“It just came all of a sudden. I never prepared for it. I want to use this medium to urge us to assist me with accommodation because I am not buoyant now to rent a house. Where I am staying now is risky and insecure. It is a very open place and everybody already knows I am a celebrity.
“When I left Abuja, some people in my compound didn’t know what was happening, but I was there, and so many of them heard what was going on. Some have said they are waiting for me. My brother, who stays with me, told me that people gathered, all waiting for me,” she stressed.
