An old video of embattled Ghanaian Kumawood actor and comedian Oteele, born Stephen Yaw Mawunyo, has resurfaced online, showing him passionately leading worship at a “No Weapon” prayers church service.
The newly surfaced footage, which has quickly gone viral across TikTok, Twitter (now known as X), Instagram, and Telegram, captures the popular actor singing fervently and leading congregants in worship from the pulpit.
However, what has truly stunned Ghanaians and sparked intense social media debate is the revelation that Oteele was dressed in a white and black Louis Vuitton-inspired outfit in the church video, the same outfit he wore in his now-infamous leaked private footage, which has dominated Ghanaian entertainment news this week.
The striking wardrobe coincidence has sent shockwaves across social media platforms, with netizens drawing comparisons between the actor’s devout church appearance and his alleged involvement in the viral sex tape scandal.
In the resurfaced footage, Oteele appears deeply immersed in worship, standing before the congregation at what is believed to be a “No Weapon” prayers church service.
The footage has prompted many viewers to question how the same man could appear so devoted in a house of worship while allegedly engaging in behavior captured in the private video that has brought shame to his family.
The resurfaced church worship video has generated mixed reactions across social media platforms, with many Ghanaians expressing shock at the stark contrast between Oteele’s public persona and his private actions.
The footage was reportedly filmed at a “No Weapon” prayers church, a popular Ghanaian prayer movement known for its passionate worship and spiritual warfare focus.
Oteele’s involvement in the church has surprised many of his fans, who were unaware of his spiritual side.
However, the actor’s church attendance has now become a talking point, with many questioning how a man so devoted to worship could engage in behavior that has brought public shame to his family.
The viral circulation of both the private intimate video and the old church footage has reignited conversations about privacy, consent, and the ethics of sharing personal content online.
The resurfaced church video comes just hours after Oteele’s wife, Gifty Nana Afriyie, made an emotional public address. Her tearful statement has become one of the most talked-about topics in Ghanaian social media.
Gifty expressed deep disappointment in her husband, denied being the woman in the leaked footage, and pleaded for prayers and public support during what she described as one of the most challenging periods of her life.
The identical outfit has become a talking point, with many Ghanaians questioning the actor’s ability to compartmentalize his public and private lives.
Since the church worship video went viral, social media users have flooded various platforms with reactions ranging from shock and disappointment to sympathy and calls for forgiveness.
The dual scandals—both the leaked private video and the resurfaced church footage—have raised significant questions about Oteele’s career trajectory and public image.
While some think despite the video having a negative impact on his career will still prompt producers to reconsider casting him in films, others claim sponsors may cut relations due to the nature of the footage.
