The last is yet to be heard about the
much-publicized sex scandal involving Apostle Johnson Suleman of
Omega Fire Ministry and Canada-based Nigerian singer cum stripper,
Stephanie Otobo as the latter has fired back, suing the man of God
for $5 million.
Otobo reportedly filed the lawsuit at
the Ontario Superior court in Canada, claiming $5 million for damages
resulting from breach of trust, defamation, poisoning, intentional
and negligent infliction of emotional stress, multiple instances of
battery, false imprisonment, fraud, s3xual assault among other
things.
The Canadian-based singer has also
petitioned for a restraining order against Suleman which prevents him
from contacting or communicating, directly or indirectly with her.
The order restrains the General Overseer of #OmegaFireMinistry
worldwide from being at a distance of at least 500 meters from the
23-year-old singer.
Earlier in the month, Stephanie shared
original screen-shots of her numerous Facetime chats with Suleman
after being accused of using Photoshop to doctor certian pictures.
She also released her statement of
account, detailing alleged transfers from the controversial Apostle.
Suleman has within 40 days to serve and
file his statement of defense in accordance with Canadian laws.
Reports say if he fails to appear before the Ontario Superior Court,
judgment will most likely be given against him without further notice
given to him.
The court summons revealed facts that
include that Apostle Suleman had first been introduced to Otobo
around June of 2015 in Canada as one in need of spiritual guidance,
averring that he had afterword groomed and mentored Otobo under his
care.
It also revealed Otobo’s status at
the time as a refugee in Apostle Suleman’s care, after which she
had been invited by Suleman to Italy and other European countries in
continuation of the grooming, whereupon an amorous relationship had
developed between both parties, resulting from psychological
programming sessions during the grooming periods.
The letter went further to reveal that
Apostle Suleman had invited Otobo to his church in Nigeria in the
summer of 2015, whereupon they had a sexual relationship that
resulted in a pregnancy by August 2015.
It also noted that after she became
pregnant, Apostle Suleman thereafter met with the family of Otobo who
includes the mother, sister, and other relations, bearing gifts, and
informing the family of his undertaking to marry her.
But soon after in late August 2015,
Otobo arrived in Nigeria on the invitation of Apostle Suleman, making
her abandon her career with the intention of coming to be with her
husband-to-be.
She was allegedly lodged at the
Definite Destiny Hotel in Lagos where things took a dramatic turn
when Otobo said she was given a concoction which Apostle Suleman
called 'spiritual drink' but which was aimed at terminating her
pregnancy.
Otobo said shortly after drinking the
concoction, she suffered bleeding and managed to regain consciousness
after she was given pain-killing pills by Apostle Suleman.

She averred that she subsequently
returned to Canada to receive further treatment, even as she was then
stalked by followers of Apostle Suleman who were also his church’s
congregants in Canada.
She said that she eventually returned
to Nigeria early this year to seek redress for her ordeal, but was
arrested on March 17, 2017, in company of a male friend in Lagos and
then arraigned on charges of terrorism and blackmail, and detained
in different centers by the Nigerian police before being granted
bail, even as the matter remains pending in court.
