The controversy between former Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, and Apostle Suleman Johnson, the Founder of Omega Fire Ministries International, has taken a new turn as the preacher has formally taken the matter to court.
The preacher, through his legal representatives, Ephesus Lex Attorneys & Solicitors, brought Ms Abubakar before Justice. J. Enobie Obanor of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in the Abuja Judicial Division.
In October 2022, Apostle Johnson Suleman filed a case against her for alleged defamation.
The court case commences on the 25th of March.
In 2022, the Apostle filed a writ against the actress seeking several reliefs against her.
It was the first time he would publicly react to the matter since it came to the fore in July 2022 after Gistlover made a post linking her alleged affair with the Apostle to the fibroid surgery she underwent.
Then, the actress’ siblings called the apostle on Instagram and asked him to stay away from her.
Among other things, the Apostle sought a declaration that her publication was defamatory.
He also demanded that she tendered an unreserved apology and other monetary damages.
This came barely 24 hours after she held a live session on Instagram regarding her relationship with Apostle Suleman.
Last minute resort
As though she got wind of the lawsuit, the actress, Friday, repeatedly tried to hold a live Instagram session with notorious faceless blogger, Gistlover.
The session failed to hold due to poor connection, which the faceless blogger attributed to Apostle Suleman’s ‘spiritual’ interference.
