Man rebukes Sandra Areh, shares her wrongdoing
While tongues continued to wag about the emotional moment between Sandra and Selman at her birthday party, a man criticised her for holding the apostle.
He stated that Sandra was carried away by the moment and that she shouldn't have held Selman in that manner. He said he doesn't care if the duo have been friends for decades, and maintained that it was inappropriate for Sandra to have clung to the apostle, who is popular for preaching holiness, as they are not yet married.
It remains to be seen if the duo will clarify the status of their relationship or leave their fans and lovers to continue speculating.
Barrister tells Sandra Areh what to do
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a concerned barrister had sent a message to Sandra Areh, urging her to act fast before it is too late.
In a lengthy Facebook post, the lawyer noted that Sandra, an interior designer, has been with the apostle for more than 15 years and enjoys a close relationship with him, which has not gone unnoticed by members of the public.
He warned that Sandra should not cry foul later in the future after she loses her legal standing because she failed to get the apostle to sign a promise of marriage. According to the barrister, Sandra has a lot to lose if Selman does not eventually marry her, as her closeness to him has driven away potential suitors for years.
