Godwin Ikuru tenders unreserved apologies to revered cleric Dr Paul Enenche & Dr Mrs Becky Enenche over defamatory, abusive and hurtful statements.
In a statement made available to journalists; Godwin said “I wish to express my sincere apologies for my defamatory, abusive and hurtful statements against Dr Paul & Dr Mrs Becky Enenche”.
“It has become clear to me that, my words were not only misleading and fallacious but intensive, hurtful, damaging and completely unacceptable. I have also realized that my actions were motivated by malice, prejudice and ignorance. And being thus instigated by hate and bitterness, I acted inbreach of their fundamental human rights, especially their right to personal dignity. I never knew that my actions amounted to cyber bullying which is punishable with imprisonment without an option of fine, and this made me liable to imprisonment”.
Speaking further, Ikuru said ” a member of Dunamis international gospel centre invoked the provisions of this law, got me arrested and charge to court”.
“Thus, i owe my freedom to the leniency of Dr Paul Enenche and his wife to intervene in this case and temper justice with mercy as i acted in ignorance of the law. This should also serve as a deterrence to all those who engage in cyber bullying, especially against reputable and genuine men of God and fathers of faith in Nigeria to desist from their nefarious acts or face the wrath of the law”.
“I wish to reiterate the fact that, Dr Paul Enenche and his wife Dr Mrs Becky Enenche never offended me in any way, and that any negative statement i made against them in those unfortunate videos are unfounded and untrue. They are reputable servants of God and i hold them in high esteem”.
I deeply regret any distress, hurt and embarrassment my actions has caused them, their family and followers”.
“Lastly, I beg them to accept my most humble and sincere apologies. I have fully realized the consequences of my actions and i am committed to make necessary amends”.
