The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM), Apostle Suleman Johnson, has slammed the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, for destroying his reputation.
Suleman had in 2017, traded words with Keyamo over his involvement with Canadian-based Nigerian singer, Stephanie Otobo, who revealed that she was in a relationship with the preacher and accused him of forceful abortion of pregnancy.
Otobo, at the news briefing in Keyamo’s chambers, among other things, accused the pastor of impregnating and dumping her. She later made a U-turn, saying very strong and powerful politicians and pastors paid her to defame him.
Years later, Otobo surfaced again. This time, she released a diss track, Apostle, dedicated to the preacher. She also released a photo that she claimed was the pastor’s genitals on a Twitter thread and said he planned to kill her. She also challenged him to come forward and debunk her claims while threatening to release a video.
Suleman denied all the allegations and threatened legal action against Keyamo, while demanding N1 billion from the lawyer for all the injuries inflicted on him, as well as a retraction of all the allegations within seven days.
His spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, claimed the pastor never met Otobo in person nor promised to marry her. Her mother also visited Suleman’s church in Auchi, Edo State, where she apologised on her daughter’s behalf.
The preacher said the accusations stemmed from his recent stand against issues bordering on national security, adding that some powerful forces are after him.
Keyamo described Suleman’s claims as ridiculous and laughable, adding that the threat was a mere ploy by the cleric to deceive the public.
Although it has been five years, the wounds remain open for Suleman who recently threw a subtle shade at Keyamo.
In a recent Twitter post, Suleman described Keyamo as an author of fake news, who now wants social media to be regulated due to the constant bashing he gets.
Keyamo while speaking at a media workshop on Balancing Ethics and Patriotism: the Obligations of Journalists to their Country, organised by the Coalition for Good Governance and Economic Justice in Africa said that laws must be enacted to criminalise fake news.
Keyamo pointed out that although social media has come to stay in the country, laws must be established to regulate and sanitise the system. He said to kill fake news, which, according to him, can destroy the country’s fabric, fake social media accounts must first be killed.
Although he didn’t mention any name, Suleman described Keyamo as an author of fake news. According to him, Keyamo conspired with Otobo, a lady he never met.
‘‘One of the Authors of Fake News, who poses to be a lawyer, now wants social media regulated cos of the constant bashing he gets. (Gal 6.7). In 2017 he conspired with a Canadian base lady whom I had NEVER met. He dropped a senseless legal suit online and copied over 200 bloggers. I woke up to find a suit supposedly meant for me online.

Keyamo na just he goat that don't know anything. His mates are in court but you won't see him there because he is empty upstairs
ReplyDeleteYou are right ..how about you? Where your own mates dey ? You dey there ? Ranting up and down..go get a life and think for yourself..stop taking sides..you don't know the true stories thats how you create problems for yourselves snd generations though..I love you tho
DeleteWhich one is he never met the lady again? I think it would have been better if he says he never had any relationship with her because I can remember that apostle said she came to the church for counseling and after that he offered financial assistance. Why is he spoiling this small truth that some people are using to hold body
