Controversial Pastor and President of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has threatened to sue Kogi-born Nollywood Actress Halima Abubakar over alleged defamation.
Recall that Halima Abubakar, since her undisclosed health issues reportedly continued to deteriorate, has been dishing out series of threats on Instagram to the cleric whom she claimed was her lover.
The 37-year-old who accused the Apostle of being ‘diabolic’ claimed she agreed to date him at the time because the cleric told her he had separated from his wife.
Halima who also dragged her colleague Shan George into the saga alleged that she became seriously sick after her affair with the Suleman went sour.
More recently, the mother of the Actress also threatened to Invade the Church of the Pastor if anything happens to her child.
Responding to the allegations through his legal team, the cleric threatened a defamation suit against the Halima.
In a letter titled ‘Defamatory Statements Concerning Apostle Johnson Suleman; Notice to Cease and Desist’, dated September 28, 2022, Apostle Suleman warned the actress to discontinue her attacks on his personality or risk being dragged before the court of law.
The letter read: “Dear Ms Halima Abubakar, Our client is an Apostle and Senior Pastor of the Omega Fire and Miracle Ministry International, with branches in all states of Nigeria and several countries of the world.
