- Agozi Commedy has issued a string of public apologies directed at gospel artists Nathaniel Bassey and Mercy Chinwo after allegedly tarnishing their reputations.
- This follows legal action taken by the duo against internet users who spread rumors suggesting that Nathaniel fathered Mercy’s child.
- Agozi expressed deep regret for his remarks and earnestly appealed for forgiveness from the singers.
- His apology ignited a flurry of reactions among online users, with opinions sharply divided over the sincerity of his repentance and the broader implications of online defamation in the digital age.
A Facebook user named Agozi Commedy has publicly apologized to well-known Nigerian gospel singers Nathaniel Bassey and Mercy Chinwo following allegations of defamation of character.
Recall that Nathaniel Bassey and Mercy Chinwo had filed a petition with the police against individuals who spread rumors alleging that Mercy and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa’s son, Charis, was fathered by Nathaniel Bassey.
In response to the petition, Agonzi issued a public apology for his statement. He added that he was not ashamed to eat his words publicly because those who encouraged him to tarnish the singers’ names were the same people who encouraged social commentator Verydarkman to make controversial statements that landed him in a police cell for nine days.
He affirmed his commitment to serving their God and pledged to continue apologizing until he is forgiven.
Below is an excerpt from Agonzi’s apology message on his Facebook page:
“Apology message from Agozi commedy to Nathaniel Bassey -Official Mercy Chinwo. I’m very sorry for what have been said by me through a video circulating, I am very sorry. It is never an act to deliberately bring you down and your ministry. I was deceived by what people said online.
“I am very sorry and I am not apologizing just for me, but for everyone who was involved in this, please with due respect I am very sorry sir/ma. And everything that was said about you guys was false and not real. And I refuse to allow my pride to take over me. I am very sorry and all I ask is your forgiveness please sir/ma. Never will this happen again……. Nigeria celebrates bad than good. I am an imperfect human being but I am very sorry. I ask for your forgiveness, please. Thanks.”
