Stephanie Otobo, a Nigerian-Canadian creator, accused Apostle Suleman of attempting to mask their alleged romantic association in a tweet.
Stephanie Otobo contended that Apostle Suleman tried to silence her by involving Nigerian law enforcement officers after she revealed private visuals of a supposed video conversation with the ‘man of God.’
The head of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, finds himself entangled in a contentious sexual scandal involving him and a Canada-based nightclub entertainer and artist, Stephanie Otobo.
Otobo, also known as Kimora, had posted a series of damaging explicit images online, allegedly featuring herself and the pastor, whom she claimed had impregnated her and left her afterward.
Otobo, who indicated she began a relationship with the pastor around 2015, accused him of misleading her with assertions that he had divorced his wife and aimed to marry her (Otobo) instead. She declared that the cleric invited her to Europe, where he repeatedly engaged in sexual activities with her following church gatherings.
Although Suleman has denied the allegations, charging her with extortion and being a device of political intimidation, additional incriminating claims by Otobo have intensified inquiries that require satisfactory answers, compelling him to confront the dynamics of their relationship. With compromising nude images of him circulating online, the Canada-based stripper has successfully exposed not only the pastor’s weaknesses but also stripped him of nearly all public dignity and esteem.
The Account
An enraged Kimora stated that Apostle Suleman started an affair with her in 2015 after telling her that he was unattached and desired more male children. Their connection soured when Stephanie discovered her pregnancy in September 2016 and informed the pastor.
She claimed that she lost the child after alleging that Suleman had provided her with a potion to drink.

Demand
The climax occurred when her legal team, led by Festus Keyamo, submitted a petition to the beleaguered pastor on March 4 and alerted the Inspector-General of Police. In the petition, Kimora alleged that the pastor claimed he was separated from his spouse and had pledged to marry her after a formal introduction to her family.
Kimora revealed that she relinquished her lucrative career, vehicles, friends, and home in Canada because Suleman promised her a residence in Nigeria, only to return to the country and be spurned by the pastor!
In a separate letter dated March 3, her attorneys demanded N500 million in compensation and provided Suleman with a seven-day ultimatum to meet her demands.

Apostle Suleman Asserts Innocence
In a swift reply through his media representatives, the pastor distanced himself from the accusations, asserting that he had never encountered Kimora, whom he acknowledged was a sex worker benefiting from his charitable endeavors with his wife fully aware.
The statement asserted that the woman and her boyfriend had sought to extort him, and the Apostle urged them to pursue it, reporting the issue to authorities, who later arrested her and brought her to court.
In his own defenses, the Pastor took to Twitter to refute the accusations.
Listen to him:
“They claimed I conducted an introduction, would I not interact with her family members if I did? The truth is that she was recruited by certain persons unhappy about my ascent to come from Canada for extortion.
“They proposed her N1.5m to continue with the blackmail. She informed her associates of this, and one of them tipped off my church member. That was how someone tracked her down and subsequently, she was captured.
Response from Pastor Suleman’s Spouse
Clearly aware that her husband’s reputation was at stake, his wife of 17 years, Lizzy, responded as the situation intensified, declaring that her husband was not the individual depicted in the visuals: “I dislike media appearances, but for the sake of clarity, I must address this. I have known my husband for the past 19 years, and if you coexist with a man who is disloyal, you will recognize it. Mrs. Suleman described the alleged visuals of her husband circulating online as fraudulent, asserting that the supposed harassment of her husband is the doing of influential individuals within political circles.
Meanwhile, as the seven-day ultimatum lapsed on Thursday, Suleman proclaimed that within 24 hours, the truth would emerge and his adversaries would face humiliation.
