The Omega Fire Ministries has denied
that the General Overseer of the church, Apostle Johnson Suleman has a hand in
the arrest and detention of one Miss Stephanie Otobo by the police last Friday,
March 3, 2017. Apostle Suleiman A statement signed by Phrank Shaibu,
Communications Manager to Apostle Suleman also flatly denied that there was a
so called amorous relationship between the said Miss Otobo and the General
Overseer, including a promise to marry her. Instead, the church stated that the
lady was arrested by operatives acting on a tip off that the lady had
repeatedly tried to blackmail the fiery preacher, including demanding N500
million from him, failing which she threatened to expose a purported amorous
relationship between her and the Senior Pastor. The statement of Omega Fire
Ministries was in reaction to two letters written by Lagos lawyer, Festus
Keyamo demanding the same N500 million on behalf of the said lady and also
accusing Apostle Suleiman of procuring policemen to intimidate and detain his
client unlawfully, having earlier promised to marry her. But Phrank Shaibu said
the lawyer was misled into believing that there was an amorous relationship
between Apostle Suleman and the said Miss Otobo, pointing out that the lady was
caught up by her own machinations as she was arrested while trying to withdraw
money paid into her account by the Church in a sting operation coordinated by
the police. “Unknown to Keyamo, the police was alerted following several
attempts by the said lady to blackmail Apostle Suleiman. The police also
recorded her conversations making the frivolous demand. The highpoint of the
drama was her attempt to withdraw money paid into her account at the instance
of the police. The lawyer should know that his client was arrested by the
police with abundance of evidence confirming that she is indeed a serial blackmailer”,
he said.
The Communications Manager further debunked Keyamo’s claim of an
amorous relationship, a promise to marry and that the Senior Pastor had
actually made the initial move towards marriage by seeing her parents,
wondering how such a transaction could have taken place without any iota of
evidence. “Let me place it on record that, the lady in question is a
self-confessed stripper in a nite club in Canada, who like thousands of people
that seek help from Apostle Johnson Suleman, called to pretentiously convey her
intentions to embrace Christ and also needed financial help to keep body and
soul as she no longer had a means of livelihood after quitting as a stripper. ”
“Does Keyamo or his serial blackmailing client have pictures of the visit by
Apostle Suleiman or his representatives to her parents? In any case, how could
such a relationship have existed when Apostle and the said lady have never met
physically? How could he have made a promise of a house and a lifestyle
comparable to what she has in Canada when he has never been to her house or
seen her physically as to have an idea of her living standards?” he asked.
Shaibu contented that the Lagos lawyer must have been misled or excited by the
prospects of getting a whopping N500 million, both reasons for which two
letters were written and sent to Apostle Suleiman wondering how Keyamo could
have fallen for such a gimmick in the first place. “If Keyamo was not misled or
excited by the prospects of a jackpot of N500 million and or an opportunity to
save his already dwindling career in law practice from total caput by latching
on the popularity of Apostle Suleman vide this tendentiously devilish plot and
skewed romantic fantasy, then we may as well demand an evaluation of his mental
state along with his client who was obviously on the verge of delusion before
she was arrested. It’s either one of the options stated above or he is trying
to engage in a proxy war on behalf of some unknown agents who had become
irritated by Apostle’s stand on national issues. His inference to the latter
incident in Keyamo’s letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) confirms
this benign thought”, he declared. The spokesman of the church advised Keyamo
to drop the proxy war and focus instead on defending his client in court adding
that all attempts to impugn the integrity of the fiery preacher or the Omega
Fire Ministries would fall like a pack of cards. “We are not surprised that
this serial blackmailer decided to join forces with a serial divorcee, who has
had five children from four failed marriages to make this phantom claim. But we
dare to ask; Is a serial blackmailer and or a serial divorcee capable of
understanding the sanctity of the institution called marriage? The nature of
their mental torpidity is understandable and we invite more recondite and
decent persons to read in between the lines and separate the wheats from the
chaff.” “In this well coordinated plot to pull down Apostle Suleman at all
costs, the lines of Reuben Abati will suffice ; “lies have become standard
stuff, mischief a major commodity, and indecency a character flaw. ” If Keyamo
and his Canada-returnee client think they can capitalize on the famed
generosity of Apostle Suleman to extort N500million through this plot, they
sure have missed it as shall have our day in court.”
