PHOTO: Pastor Kumiyi's Son Apologizes over His Bride's Supposed Sinful Way of Dressing at theri Wedding

When the son of the General Overseer John Kumuyi, announced to all and sundry that he was getting married to his heartthrob Jo Odih, it was a moment of joy as congratulatory messages were truly in order. Not until the much anticipated day when the church members saw everything wrong in her outfit and overall appearance, tagging it very sinful.

After their wedding on the 15 of June, they received unending backlashes over how the bride was dressed which is claimed to be against the doctrines of their church. The bride who happens to be the daughter of the National Overseer of DLBC in Jamaica, wore a wedding gown, ear rings, held a bouquet and applied make-up .

Well, both the Bride and Groom offered a public apology which was read to the congregation on Saturday during the church’s mid-year celebration programme held at the Deeper Life Conference Centre, Lagos-Ibadan Expresway and broadcast live to branches all over Nigeria and some parts of Africa via satellite.

Read the letter of apology after the cut............ 

    “John and Love Kumuyi write to express our deepest and most sincere apology for the turn of events, that have resulted on our traditional and wedding ceremonies, that took place in Jamaica on 13th June and 15th June, 2013 respectively.

        “We unreservedly and wholeheartedly state that we did not intend that our acts or omissions will, in any way, undermine the great works that God has done through the Deeper Christian Life Ministry worldwide and more specifically, through our Father in the Lord, the General Superintendent.

        “We also use this medium to profusely and sincerely apologise to the General Superintendent for the embarrassment and heartaches, our actions have caused him, more so that he has earlier declined to be at the events.

        “This, notwithstanding, we fully accept that having been nurtured, taught and brought up with the sound teaching of the word of God, we should have been able to draw the line, which we failed to do.

        “We have now realised the effects of our actions and omission and do plead with the church for forgiveness and also appealing that any action that should be taken be directed at John and Love, as we take this time to prayerfully reflect on our actions. We take full responsibility for what happened, and this action should, in no way, be blamed on the GS, or the leaders of the church in Nigeria, United
