As a result of the scandal, the singer made the decision to take time off from ministration in order to retrace his step with God before returning to the ministry after a few months.<\/p>\n
In May this year, the veteran singer escaped death by the whiskers in a ghastly car accident while driving on Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.<\/p>\n
Okposo said he \u201cwas saved from the hands of the devil and his cohorts.\u201d<\/p>\n
