Stephanie Otobo, a Nigerian-Canadian artist, accused Apostle Suleman of trying to disguise their purported intimate involvement in a Twitter message.
Stephanie Otobo claimed that Apostle Suleman attempted to silence her by involving Nigerian Police agents after she disclosed private images of a supposed video call with the ‘man of God.’
Leader of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, finds himself at the heart of a tumultuous sex controversy involving him and a Canada-based nightclub dancer and performer, Stephanie Otobo.
Otobo, also referred to as Kimora, had uploaded a series of damaging explicit snapshots online, allegedly featuring herself and the pastor, whom she asserted had impregnated her and subsequently abandoned her.
Otobo, who stated she initiated a relationship with the pastor around 2015, accused him of deceiving her with claims that he had divorced his spouse and intended to marry her (Otobo) instead. She asserted that the cleric invited her to Europe, where he repeatedly engaged in sexual relations with her following church events.
Even though Suleman has refuted the allegations, accusing her of extortion and being a pawn of political harassment, more incriminating disclosures by Otobo have heightened queries that demand satisfactory responses, forcing him to confront the nature of their relationship. With compromising nude photographs of him circulating online, the Canada-based stripper has effectively exposed not only the pastor’s vulnerabilities but also stripped him of nearly all public dignity and respect.
The Narrative
An infuriated Kimora claimed that Apostle Suleman began an affair with her in 2015 after informing her that he was single and wished for more male offspring. Their liaison soured when Stephanie learned of her pregnancy in September 2016 and notified the pastor.
She stated that she lost the baby after alleging that Suleman had given her a potion to consume.

Request
The peak moment occurred when her legal team, headed by Festus Keyamo, submitted a petition to the embattled pastor on March 4 and notified the Inspector-General of Police. In the petition, Kimora alleged that the pastor claimed he was separated from his wife and had promised to marry her after an official introduction to her family.
Kimora disclosed that she forsook her lucrative profession, vehicles, companions, and home in Canada because Suleman assured her a residence in Nigeria, only to return to the country and be rejected by the pastor!
In a separate correspondence dated March 3, her attorneys demanded N500 million in compensation and gave Suleman a seven-day notice to fulfill her requests.

Apostle Suleman Maintains Innocence
In a prompt response through his media representatives, the pastor distanced himself from the arrest, asserting that he had never met Kimora, whom he acknowledged was a sex worker benefiting from his charitable initiatives with his wife fully aware.
The statement asserted that the lady and her boyfriend had attempted to extort him, and the Apostle encouraged them to proceed, reporting the matter to law enforcement, who later apprehended her and brought her to court.
In his own defenses, the Pastor took to Twitter to deny the charges.
Listen to him:
“They said I conducted an introduction, would I not engage with her family members if I did? The reality is that she was recruited by certain individuals unhappy about my rise to come from Canada for extortion.
“They offered her N1.5m to proceed with the blackmail. She informed her acquaintances of this, and one of them alerted my church member. That was how someone tracked her down and subsequently, she was apprehended.
Intervention by Pastor Suleman’s Wife
Clearly aware that her husband’s honor was at stake, his spouse of 17 years, Lizzy, responded as the situation escalated, asserting that her husband was not the individual depicted in the images: “I dislike media appearances, but for the sake of clarity, I must speak. I have known my husband for the past 19 years, and if you live with a man who is unfaithful, you will know. Mrs. Suleman described the alleged images of her husband circulating online as fraudulent, stating that the supposed harassment of her husband is the doing of the influential people within political circles.
Meanwhile, as the seven-day deadline elapsed on Thursday, Suleman declared that within 24 hours, the truth would surface and his foes would face disgrace.
