Anyim Vera, the lady who was accused of giving false testimony by the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, Paul Eneche, on Sunday, April 14, has broken her silence.
On Sunday, April 14, Vera came on the altar to share her testimony of how God made her the “only graduate in her family” adding she graduated with a “BSc in Law” from the National Open University of Nigeria.
While giving her testimony, Pastor Eneche asked what degree she graduated with and she said ‘’Law”, he asked further, what kind of Law degree, and the lady answered ‘’BSc in Law” after which he accused her of lying.
Speaking via her Facebook page on Monday, April 15, Vera said she was disgraced and labelled a liar by her spiritual leader just because she couldn’t speak English and mistakenly said B.Sc instead of LLB.
She further stated that she graduated with a 3rd class from NOUN and was no. 2262 on the list of graduates from the school.
She wrote: “It’s disheartened because I couldn’t speak English like lawyers. I was labelled a liar for mistakenly saying B.Sc instead of LLB. Actually, I graduated with a Third Class at NOUN.
“The rejected stone can become the cornerstone. We’re reminded not to look down on anyone. U can’t imagine what I endured throughout the service. How shattered I must have felt to be disgraced by my spiritual leader in such a manner?
“I am no. 2262 on the list. I Vera deserves better now”
In another post, she wrote: “The Devil came to steal my testimony but Jesus said NO!”
A photo on her Facebook page suggests she is a policewoman as she was seen adorned in their uniform.
Netizens demand apology from Pastor Eneche for accusing Church member of false testimony.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have called on Pastor Eneche to apologise to the lady whom he publicly embarrassed and accused of dishonesty after discovering on the woman’s Facebook page that she graduated from NOUN.
On a list of graduates who participated in the convocation on Saturday, April 13, the lady’s name was listed as having graduated with LLB Law.

There’s nothing like a BSc in Law but an LLB in Law, which is a Bachelor of Law. Paul Enenche replied to her based on her response, ‘Bsc’ not because he saw a valid proof of evidence. She brought it on herself, but as a pastor, he would love to maintain the peace.”

Soulmedika wrote: “The only thing Pastor Paul Enenche needs to do to that woman is apologise and it should be profuse! All the excuse of ‘it’s not the Pastor’s fault, the woman should have been able to articulate the name of her degree’ is lame! Ye, all should stop acting like Christianity is a cult!”
“Same thing I told my mum after seeing the video on IG. She isn’t too good with English, but you could tell from the shock on her face that she meant what she said even though she couldn’t defend it,” FavourDiamen wrote.
