General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, said he had formally reported to the Police a case of blackmail against him by a former pastor of his church, Mike Davids.
He also said that he was following up his official report and complaint to the Police with a legal action in which he would be asking for N5 billion in damages damages for conspiracy to blackmail, and defamation of character.
These information were contained in a press statement issued on Friday by his counsel, Osa Director, Esq. of Osa Director and Co.
According to the statement:
“It has come to our knowledge that one Mike David has purportedly filed a law suit against our client, Apostle Johnson Suleman and seeking two billion naira as damages for alleged interference in his marriage which has since been dissolved a few years ago.
“We are yet to be served with any court process. However, our client has refrained from joining issues with the said Mike David as his utterances are mere hallucinations of a man on the fringes of lunacy and desperation to survive.
“For the record, Mike David was a pastor in our client”s church but expelled since 2018 for acts inimical to the body of Christ.
“He has for the past six years been attempting to blackmail Apostle Suleman. He constantly threatened and boasted that he has materials in his possession to embarrass Apostle Suleman with and his recent video allegations is one of such materials and tools of blackmail.
“In short, he has been boasting that he will bring down Apostle Suleman and Omega Fire Ministries, of which our client has audio and video evidence to expose his threats and blackmail. The matter was reported to the Nigerian Police Force.
“Consequently, the Inspector General of Police has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja in suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/115/2021 seeking the arrest and detention of the said Mike Davids.
“Also, Apostle Suleman is instituting a law suit against Mike David at the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja seeking Five Billion Naira damages for conspiracy to blackmail and defamation of character.
“As believers in the rule of law and judiciary we hope justice will be served and clearly so at the end of the day.”
