Apostle Involved In Leaked Sex Tape Relocates Church Over Threats To Life

A news over the weekend had being making rounds about an Apostle Chris Omatsole, who was seen in a sex video which has since gone viral.

The embattled cleric, has decided to relocate his church over threats that has followed the release of the video.

According to Punch Metro, Omatsola stated that the new location of his ministry will be made known to core members only.

The locations of the church in Lekki and Ajah areas of Lagos state had been visited on Sunday, report revealed that no member was seen at the locations.

The cleric man, who presides over Zionwealth of Life Assembly and his former lover, Tamaratokoni Okpe, had been reported to have a clash over a sex video, which got leaked on the internet.

Further report revealed that the two lovers allegedly dated for about seven months and had sexual intercourse which was filmed by Omatsola.

The video was released on internet shortly after their relationship fell apart.

Okpe had accused Omatsola of releasing the video to force her into marriage with him, while the cleric denied the claim, saying the video was leaked to blackmail him. He alleged that Okpe demanded N200m from him.

Omatsola who spoke with Punch, stated that he had relocated his churches due to threat to his life and those of his members.

While insisting that he did not leak the video, he added that his only regret was having premarital sex.

He stated, “A lot of waters have gone under the bridge. We are trying to protect ourselves from the public, because they have not really been fair to us. We still have a lot of our people, although this has affected our ministry grossly. Our church is a ministry. It is an assembly of young people.

“We have a location where we meet for now because of what happened; we have been receiving a lot of threats; some people are saying they want to burn our church. We had to change the location to a designated place where we meet and we will not share that with the public, because we don’t want the public; we know our people.”

Omatsola, who noted that he had apologised to his members, said they knew the truth about the incident.

He added that the incident had affected him psychologically and had helped him to have a better sense of judgment.

“First of all, I was wrong to have had a sex date with somebody I was supposed to marry. But this should not be an instrument of blackmail. It’s really outrageous. My followers know the truth. They know who they are following,” he added.

Despite the sex scandal, the cleric decided to post a self authored devotional on his wall and also demanded that his followers pray for him.

“Let he or she that is without a sin among you be the first to cast a stone. Friends, pray for the church of God; pray for Zionwealth Church; pray for #ChrisOmatsola.God bless you. #ApostleChrisOmatsola#IstandwithACO #ZionwealthChurch #SatanWillNotWin #John8v7,” he wrote.

Three days after, he posted a crying emoticon and asked for forgiveness.

He said, “One day, Apostle Chris Omatsola will have his last breath, die and go, but until then, I will keep on pushing cool and steady. Sorry to everyone that is offended, please forgive and forget. God bless you all. Shallom.”

But his posts angered his Facebook friends, some of whom posted screenshots of the sex video in the comment section.

One Esther Jack said, “Imagine the way he is even saying it. ‘Sorry to everyone, please forgive and forget’. This man is a vicious type. So unrepentant, uncut (uncouth), pompous and silly. It just ends with ‘forget’ right? When the lady was begging you not to release the nudes, you were feeling like Captain America.”

Emma Nuel, said, “I wish words can describe how much I hate you. If that girl were my sister, I swear with my life I would have separated your head from your body. You devil.“
