Apostle
Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, based
in Auchi, Edo State, has spoken out on the adultery and romance
allegations made against him by his alleged lover, Stephanie Otobo.
Apostle Suleman & Stephanie
While speaking in an exclusive interview in the last edition of
Saturday Sun, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle
Johnson Suleman, vowed not to allow allegations made against him by his
alleged side chick, Miss Stephanie Otobo, go unchallenged.
The outspoken preacher who spoke through his Media Advisor, Phrank
Shaibu, in Auchi, Edo state, dismissed Otobo’s claims, and challenged
her to go to court to prove all her allegations.
Here are excerpts from the chat;
How do you react to recent claims by Stephanie on her relationship with Apostle Suleman?
It is not for her to probe the wisdom of the mother in going to beg
for forgiveness. The mother has done what she felt was right and we
have responded to the mother’s appeal for forgiveness. Can’t you guys
see the contradiction in the claim of being poisoned by Apostle? First,
she claimed that the poison was given to her by Apostle in a hotel. Next
she said it was in a dream. Perhaps, she would come up with another
bizarre tale. Seriously, even my three -year- old daughter can do
better.
She also alleged that if Apostle presents his international
passport, and places it side by side her’s, it will reveal that both
of them travelled together on a certain day to Canada. What do you say
to this?
How do you travel with someone you have never met? It is clearly an
illusion and part of her romantic fantasy. But again, if she wants to
prove her case before the media, are we the ones to help her do so?
Can’t she go to the airline and get a manifest on how they travelled
together? Tell the world her seat number and that of Apostle Suleman.
Let her get those facts and give to the press.
Besides, when a stalker is desperate, he/she can go to any length
to get his/her victim’s attention. If you know the itinerary of your
target, particularly a preacher whose international meetings are made
public, a desperate stalker can go there in attempt to see the person.
The truth is that, this is an unnecessary media trial and it is
deceitful, mendaciously knavish and full of falsehood.
So, we cannot keep giving this girl this honor of coming to speak
to the press and waste people’s time and waste people’s money, just
because we want her to entertain the public with falsehood. Sadly, there
seems to be a group of people who are well mobilized, from all
indications, to ensure that Apostle Suleman is assumed guilty and
stripped of all credibility even before his accuser is able to prove any
of her allegations. I fear, the objective of this group is informed by
anything but altruism. It’s mischief.
The bank statement showing payments Apostle Suleman allegedly made into her (Stephanie’s) account, was it forged?
I am surprised that you are even referring to the purported bank
statement as genuine. Anyone can type and print a statement and call it
by any name. But it cannot be called a genuine bank statement, except
such a statement has been so verified by a forensic expert under the
direction of a court of competent jurisdiction to so do. More so, what
we had expected was evidence to buttress her initial claims of tons of
dollars, Euros and the Pound Sterling being paid into her account, not
the lodgment in a Naira account. Certainly, this is an afterthought, but
it is not strange as Apostle Suleman engages in a lot of charity. On a
daily basis, men and women come for help and he assists them.
Was Apostle Johnson Suleman sleeping with Nollywood Actor, Leo
Mezie, when he paid his entire medical bill of £30,000 for kidney
transplant in UK? This is what they don’t tell you. Was Apostle Suleman
sleeping with the nine poor Nigerians (male and female) he gave cars to
on February 5th, 2016? Was he sleeping with the 30 widows and other
indigent people that he gave out millions to start their own businesses?
To Johnson Suleman, giving is a lifestyle. The fact is that, we have
never denied extending help to this girl.
What we actually said was that, help was extended to her based on
her claimed need and her quest to stop functioning as a stripper in
Canada. And there is nothing strange about that. If money was given to
her to turn her life around and embrace God, it’s okay. But then, it
must be noted that these so -called revelations are only an
after-thought. The girl is just busy trying to manufacture weak and
unsubstantiated evidence to justify her story.
Fortunately, everything she says contradicts her initial claims,
thereby exposing her as a serial liar. The truth is that it’s simply
preposterous to want to join issues with her, since it’s so obvious
where she’s coming from. So, I don’t want to be dragged into any
expanded debate with a Stephanie Otobo. The mother has asked for
forgiveness and we have looked into that accordingly. She alone, knows
where she is getting her inspiration and or motivation from on this
issue . But it will do her well to seek forgiveness from God. Not from
Apostle. Because of the import inherent in what she is doing.
The BB chats with the man of God, were they also forged?
Let me clearly state that, Stephanie’s social status in Canada is
quite un-dignifying and it will be quite unnecessary to respond to
someone who has remained inconsistent in her claims and told a litany of
lies. It is sad to say that she does not represent anything positive,
either in her private life or the image she is projecting through this
controversy. Let me reiterate that Stephanie is a half-baked upstart
without any claim to a pedigree and all her claims have fallen like a
pack of cards.
She also alleged that money was paid into her account
through the Apostle’s pastor in Canada. Could she have made such
allegation without facts?
Did she present another bank statement? Stephanie Otobo is
certainly struggling with some issues and I think it is right for her to
see a psychologist and a psychiatrist to resolve those issues. Because,
this is what we call emotional fantasy. A girl who has never met
someone; who has no evidence of ever meeting the person, yet claims the
person impregnated her? What can she not manufacture? If she had a
shred of fact, you think, she wouldn’t have given it out a long time
ago? What fact? Any keen observer of the whole saga will know that she
has exhausted herself on lies. We believe in the rule of law and will
expose her barefaced lies. For instance, when you check the first video
and photos she released, as a graphic designer and expert, you will see
the overlay of the photos, which simply showed it was a photoshop
creation. Anyway, we are not stupid to allow our evidence in court to be
ambushed.
She said only a public apology would assuage the
embarrassment the Apostle caused her, and also apology to his
congregation. Would you consider this to end the matter?
She threatened to sue Apostle for N500 million for breach of
promise to marry. She moved to ask police to investigate Apostle for
procurement of illegal abortion. Then she said Apostle should be
arrested for threat to life. Now she says all she needs is apology from
Apostle and for him to also apologise to his congregation. So what does
she really want? Her so -called lawyer, Festus Keyamo, who wrote the
letter and threatened to sue, has not done so. Suddenly, he is quiet.
At a stage he caused his staff to issue a statement that he was not
involved. But we know that Keyamo and Stephanie are from Sapele. Is it
just a mere coincidence? This girl has an undignified social status as
well as economic crises or difficulties in Canada. So, whatever she has
done or is doing now, is to be expected of people of such status. It’s
unfortunate that she and her sponsors thought Apostle was a fertile
ground for her to extort money. She wanted to reap where she didn’t
sow.
If Apostle Suleman had something to hide, he would have settled her
and would not have involved the police in the first case. And as it is
obvious to everyone of us, when she started making unreasonable
financial demands, he involved the police who played along, acting as if
they were the ones to pay her the money, and that was how she was
arrested.
Has this not eroded the confidence the public and members
of the church have in Apostle Suleman; has it not affected his
reputation and what he stood or stands for?
The church has reached a decision on this matter. And I don’t think
there is any need expanding any debate on this. Her mother has come to
beg for forgiveness and we have reached a decision on that. The church
also knows that this is a lady that deliberately wants to distract
Apostle Suleman from his good works and there is no point giving her
attention because till date, she has not brought out any credible
evidence that she has been able to hold on to. Everything she has said
in the past, she contradicted in her subsequent videos. It’s so
unfortunate that she has wasted everybody’s time.
In any case, no man called Apostle Suleman into ministry. He was
ordained by God and his ministry has continued to grow with
manifestations of signs and wonders to show that the church belongs to
God. Omega Fire Ministries is not a business concern and people do not
go there to engage in buying and selling. The church enjoys a divine
mandate and that is why the gate of hell cannot prevail against it. You
may wish to know that, Apostle Suleman, despite the raging controversy
recently had crusades in Washington DC, Cyprus, Turkey and Accra and the
turnout was overwhelming, as much as the miracles were unprecedented.
So, it’s simply preposterous for anyone to imagine that a mere mortal
can stop or challenge the work of God.
