Veteran Nollywood actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, has threatened to drag the founder of Fresh Oil Ministry International Church, Psalm Okpe, to court over claims that they were romantically and sexually involved.
Eucharia, in a fiery video shared on her Instagram page, flatly denied the allegations, describing them as malicious, vile and damaging to her ministry and personal life.
The actress, who was ordained into ministry by Okpe, insisted that she has remained celibate for nearly 14 years, branding the pastor a “monumental global shame.”
“I want to state here categorically that in almost 14 years since I have been midwifed into ministry, I have been celibate and have been keeping myself for the man that will be deserving of my new virginity,” she said.
Clarifying further, Eucharia admitted she had been in courtship and engagements over the years but stressed that no sexual relationship ever occurred.
“That is not to say that I have not been in courtship or not been engaged. Oh, I have been engaged for several years. I have been in courtship all this time. But none of these men can come out and say they have had penile penetration with me. None of them can say they have had sex with me. That is why I boldly preach righteousness,” she stated.
The actress revealed that the allegations have left her emotionally traumatised, prompting her to take decisive legal steps both locally and internationally.
“I am not going to allow that to be swept under the carpet because that malicious, vile statement has left me in emotional trauma. And it is also a testament to his threats over the years to destroy my ministry. So, I have instituted a legal action so that he can come and prove how he dated me for five years and six months. My lawyers have been instructed to start the process of writing a petition to the Nigerian police force, the US Security and Immigration Department, against Psalm Okpe, for defamatory accusations,” she added.
