7 Years After False Accusation, Woman Publicly Begs Pastor for Forgiveness, Soniaofficial gifted pastor N3ml.
TEC News Reporter. June 27, 2025.
In a dramatic turn of events captured in a viral video, a woman identified as Favour has publicly confessed and sought forgiveness from a clergyman she falsely accused of sexual misconduct seven years ago—an act she said ruined her life and threatening her marriage.
The emotional video, shared by a content creator known as SoniaOfficial, revealed how Favour, now married and facing years of childlessness, admitted she was paid ₦200,000 by another pastor, identified only as Pastor Mike, to falsely accuse the innocent pastor of sexual relations and multiple abortions.

According to Favour, she had infiltrated the pastor’s church during a Sunday service and hijacked the testimony session, alleging before the congregation that the pastor had impregnated her six times and forced her to terminate five pregnancies.
“The money looked big then. I wasn’t doing anything at the time,” Favour tearfully confessed in the video. She added that Pastor Mike had also promised to take her along for ministry trips in exchange for the damaging lie.
However, the consequences of her actions soon followed. Married for seven years without a child and after repeated medical checks showing she and her husband were healthy, Favour was told in a different church that her inability to conceive was spiritual punishment for falsely accusing a servant of God. Her husband reportedly forced her to seek the pastor’s forgiveness, refusing to allow her back into their home until she did.
Too ashamed to approach the pastor on her own, Favour enlisted the help of Sonia, a media presenter and humanitarian. Together, they visited the pastor’s modest home, where the deeply emotional apology and reconciliation took place.
The pastor, whose name was not clearly captured in the footage, broke down as he recalled the suffering he and his family endured due to the false accusation.
“I was abandoned. My church members left me. I couldn’t walk on the street. My ministry collapsed. I couldn’t even speak freely online. My life was ruined by a lie,” he said.
His wife, visibly heartbroken, initially refused to forgive Favour, recounting the pain and shame the family endured. Eventually, the pastor intervened, saying, “Who am I? I’m not God. You’ve confessed and God has vindicated me. I forgive you.”
In a surprising and touching gesture, Sonia, the content creator who helped facilitate the reconciliation, gifted the pastor and his wife ₦3 million in appreciation of their grace and forgiveness.
The video concluded with the pastor and his wife dancing in joy and gratitude, while Sonia urged the public to refrain from making false allegations—especially against men of God—warning that some consequences may be irreversible.
The video has since gone viral, sparking conversations about integrity, forgiveness, spiritual manipulation, and the dangers of false testimonies in religious spaces.
