The General overseer of Omega Fire Ministry world wide, Apostle Johnson Suleman distanced himself from the arrest and detention of one miss Stephenie Otobo by police on March 3 over an alleged blackmail offence.
The allegation came about a month after his instigation by the Department Of State Service (DSS) over an alleged incitement in his sermon in which he said that any Fulani herdsman found around his church should be killed
Apostle Johnson Suleman in a statement by his communication manager, Shaibu Phrank said there was no amorous relationship between Him and Otobo let alone promising to marry her.
A statement from Shaibu said that lady was allegedly arrested by the security operatives after an attempt to blackmail Suleman, demanding N500m from him, failing which she threatens to expose a purported amorous relationship with him.
A legal practioner, Festus Keyamo had demanded N500m from apostle Suleman on behalf of Otobe and accusing Apostle Suleman of using policemen to detain and intimidate his client unlawfully after which he has promised to marry her.
Shaibu said Keyamo was misled to believe that there was an amorous relatiobship between the cleric and Otobo adding that the lady was arrested while trying to withdraw money paid into her account by the church in a sting operation carried out by the police.
He said "unknown to Keyamo, the police was alerted following severely attempts by the same lady to blackmail Apostle Johnson Suleman. The polic also recorded her conversations while makifrevourdeman. The highpoint of it was her trying to withdraw the money paid into her account at the instance of police. The lawyer should know that his client was arrested by the policemen with abundance of evidence confirming that she is indeed a big time blackmailer".
Shaibu also denied Keyamo's claim that their was amoruos relation and a promise to marry his client.
The lady is said to be a stripper in a night club at Canada who is like every other peeople that seek help from Apostle Suleman called to pretentiously convey her intentions to embrace Christ and also need financial assistance to keep body and soul together as she no longer have a means of livelihood after quitting her job as a stripper.
The lady also made a claim that Apostle Suleman came for her marriage introduction which contrary to that allegation her father Rev. Benson Otobo, has refuted the claim saying the cleric has never been to his house.
Rev. Benson Ogoto has regretted why she was attempting to drag the name of the revered man of God to mud.
