The alleged sex scandal involving
Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire
Ministries and one Stephanie Otobo now
has a new angle. Apostle Johnson
Suleman's lawyer, Barrister Osa Director,
just waded in threatening to sue Sahara
Reporters for N1 billion and also labeling
Miss Otobo’s allegation as a lie from the
pit of hell.
Below is his press statement:
APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN
DENOUNCES BLACKMAILERS
The attention of our Client, Apostle
Johnson Suleman has been drawn to the
online Publication by Sahara reporters. It
is with utter consternation and
indignation that our client received the
news that one Stephanie Otobo is
claiming to be his lover, after he
proposed marriage to her in 2015 but
later reneged. The Story was based on a
purported letter written by Festus
Keyamo’s Chambers.
Our Client has not received any letter
from the Chambers of Keyamo or any
law firm whatsoever. Therefore it is a
gross violation of the natural Justice
principle of audi alteram partem to
embark on a media trial of our client
without giving him fair hearing.
However, anytime we get a letter from
Keyamo or any law firm, we shall
respond appropriately and adequately
without the unethical side kick of undue
media attention.
For the records, our Client unequivocally
denies any amorous relationship with the
said Stephanie. Her claims as stated by
Keyamo is vexatious, malicious and a
wicked concoction from the pit of hell. As
it is customary with our Client he has
never had anyone-on-one encounter with
the said Stephanie.
Although sometimes in 2015, after a
crusade in Canada, our Client received a
call from a person who introduced
herself as Stephanie, and claimed to have
been blessed by the spiritual ministration
of our Client. Further probings from our
Client revealed that Stephanie was a
night club stripper. Our Client insisted
that she must change her ways, if indeed
she wants to receive Christ. But she later
complained of no other means of survival
and pleaded for assistance to open an
Africa Kitchen food Store.
Our Client being a habitual and chronic
philanthropist, with a heart for the poor
and the underprivileged promised to
assist, and he did. After almost a year she
later complained of being broke and
business was not looking well and asked
for financial assistance from our Client,
which he obliged. Those were the only
two occasions our Clients rendered
financial help to her, and withdrew after
some unsavoury disclosures by Stephanie
and her reluctance to truly mend her
ways, and embrace Christ.
It was therefore strange and gut
wrenching to hear several years after
from Stephanie, who in collaboration with
a gang of five ,which include her
Canadian based boyfriend, Wisdom and a
top ranking police officer based in Lagos
State approach our Client and demanding
a ransom payment of N500.milion ,
otherwise they threaten to provide a tell
tale story of romance between our Client
and Stephanie to the media and
hoodwink the innocent public with the
view of ridiculing our Client’s worth and
integrity in the public eye.
As a principled man of God, our Client
refused to budge to their cheap tantrums
of blackmail, knowing full well that you
cannot build something on nothing, as an
amorous relationship NEVER existed
between him and Stephanie.
If true that our Client proposed marriage
to Stephanie and conducted a marriage
introduction ceremony, we challenged
her to provide evidence of the occasion,
either photographs or video clips.
Who were the Family members present
at the occasion? Where was the
ceremony conducted?
We have since contacted the father of
Stephanie, one Revered Benson Otobo,
who pastors a church in Warri and have
businesses in Lagos and Abuja. He
described his daughter as ‘wayward and
desperate to make money’ He said he
was not even aware that Stephanie was
in Nigeria and thoroughly denied any
marriage introduction ceremony, saying
that Apostle Suleman never came to his
house, or family home to introduce
himself as suitor to his daughter.
He emphatically disassociated himself
from whatever blackmailing scheme the
daughter is engaged in, ‘I want to clearly
state that I am not a part of her gang of
blackmailers or a party to her desperate
money making scheme’
Stephanie and her gang has since been
arrested by the Nigeria Police as they
were also recorded on tape disclosing
their links with the dreaded terrorist
gang, Boko Haram. They threatened to
unleash Boko Harem and kill Apostle
Suleman. As agents of terrorism, the
Police is investigating the depth of their
involvement in the several terrorist
attacks in the country.
That is beside the charges of blackmail
and attempt to extort money from
Apostle Suleman.
We have our Clients instruction to
demand a retraction of the story from
sahara reporters and publication of an
apology letter seven days from today.
We are also demanding one billion naira
compensation as damages.
Our Client will never and shall never
succumb to blackmailers and their antics,
no matter how highly placed.
