In his recent program, Afa Staph revealed the emotional toll the incident took on him. “It was the worst period of my life,” he admitted. “I locked myself in my room for days, without eating or speaking to anyone.

Despite the pain, Afa Staph reiterated his apology, stating that he deeply regrets his words and hopes the community can forgive him. “I am truly sorry for what I said. It was not my intention to cause confusion or disrespect anyone’s faith. I have learned a great deal from this experience and will be more mindful of my words in the future.“
