Keyamo and Apostle Suleman |
THE Festus Keyamo Chambers in Lagos,
weekend, reportedly advised Apostle Johnson Suleman, Pastor and
General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, to prepare for
war over Stephanie Otobo, who kicked off a fire storm recently when
she alleged an amorous relationship with him.
The law firm said in a statement
claimed that it was in possession of graphic proof of the pastor’s
relationship with Ms. Otobo, and that other “unfortunate victims”
of the clergyman’s illicit affairs have come forward and are also
itching to tell their story, with proofs.
Last Thursday, Suleman’s lawyer
demanded that Mr. Keyamo, whose law firm is representing Ms. Otobo,
retract all publications, apologize publicly to him, and pay him N1bn
for alleged blackmail and injuries inflicted on him.
In the response, signed by two lawyers
of the Keyamo Chambers, Uchenna B. Moneke and Oluwafemi O.N. Olabisi,
the firm noted that Keyamo, its Head of Chambers, is not personally
involved in the matter and has been in Abuja during the controversy,
and that its formal response to the “ill-advised” letter by the
pastor’s lawyers is on its way to him.
The statement read in parts: “Apart
from an informal and friendly phone conversation Mr. Festus Keyamo
had with a reporter in Punch Newspapers and one other blog about this
matter, Mr. Keyamo has never personally signed or issued any letter
or press release on this issue,” the statement said.
Warning that all of Pastor Suleman’s
allegations of some imaginary grand conspiracy being perpetrated
against him are not only pathetic but are ludicrous and a nonsensical
smokescreen, the law firm said it had the instruction of Ms. Otobo to
ask Apostle Suleman the following questions:
Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen
that instructed him to be paying millions into the account of our
client who he calls a “stripper” all the way in Canada.
Whether it is his special calling as a
so-called “man of God” to be paying millions to strippers and
prostitutes to leave their trade, when there are poor women and
widows within his congregation in Nigeria that need help badly.
Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen
that instructed him to be exchanging amorous text messages with a
girl he calls “a stripper”. These text messages would all be
investigated and revealed when full criminal investigations commence.
Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen
that instructed him to be having Skype conversations with Miss
Stephanie Otobo and to be requesting her to open her bare breasts to
him.
Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen
that told him to be exposing his private part to Miss Stephanie on
Skype; which pictures are in our custody.
“We make bold to say that when
criminal investigations commence, all these text messages and
pictures would be subjected to serious forensic analysis, and the
truth would be established,” the statement said. “The hotels they
slept in and the evidence of their meetings in and out of this
country would be revealed. The pitiable excuse of “photoshop” has
become a convenient escape route for all culprits caught on tape
these days.”
The Chamber advised that Mr. Keyamo is
not the real problem the pastor has.
“His problem is the little girl whom
he thought he could easily take advantage of and destroy her life.
Somehow, she has found the strength and the voice to fight back, and
this is where we are now. Other unfortunate victims of this same
self-proclaimed “Man of God” are also in touch with us now and
are also itching to tell their story, with proofs.
