“In 2015, the
servant of God, Apostle Johnson Suleman went to Canada to preach the Gospel.
After the event, a lady called Papa and introduced herself as Stephanie Otobo.
Asked what she wanted, she said she attended the Apostle’s crusade in Canada,
it transformed her and she wanted to give her life to Christ.

“The man of God asked
her what her job was and she said she was a stripper, that she danced naked at
the nightclub. That was the first surprise. The Apostle told her bluntly that
what she was doing was pure prostitution but he could help her out if truly she
was ready to go back to God. Because it is of God to save and bless souls, the
Apostle offered to help her.

“Apostle Suleman prayed
for her on phone and never asked to know her physically because that is his
nature. He blesses anyone to whomever he is directed by the Holy Spirit.

“After the prayer, the
lady begged Apostle Suleman if he could also help her financially in order to
start a new job as she was tired of her dirty life as a stripper. The man of
God asked what kind of job she wanted and she said she would like to open an
African Store where Nigerians abroad could be buying Nigerian foodstuffs,
vegetables and other local items.

“The Dollar rate at
the time was N150. She was sent money enough to set her up. Later, she was sent
more money because she had familiarized herself with the Apostle that she was
calling him regularly and praying for him for his humanitarian help.

places where Apostle held crusades. It should be noted that Apostle Suleman
never met the lady one-on-one.
“However, the servant
of God begun withdrawing from her and ignoring her calls when during one of the
phone interactions she told him that a part of her dirty past life included
blackmailing men! In fact, she listed men she said she had dealt with in the
past.

“At such weird
confession, even a man of God would have a rethink fraternizing with a person
of the lady’s nature. Apostle Suleman withdrew completely from her right at
that moment.

“Surprisingly, late
2015, perhaps out of frustration, this lady devised a way to get at the man of
God for shunning her. She met members of the Apostle’s ministry and threatened
to go to the media to expose their leader unless she was given a certain amount
of them. When asked for what, she said that she was promised marriage by him
and that they had introduction ceremony already. Such a mystery!

“The questions now
begging for answers are; where are pictures of the purported marriage
introduction? Who are the other persons and even family members that witnessed
the purported introduction and the pictures, and where and when did the purported
introduction took place?

“To answer these
questions, the police have met with Stephanie’s father, who was shocked at
their inquiry. The old man told the police that he was never aware his daughter
was in Nigeria! He also confirmed to the investigators that Stephanie had
always been involved in messy stuffs while he said he knew Keyamo to be a
controversial character.

“Now, if anything,
what is baffling to us is the involvement in the matter of Barrister Festus
Keyamo who we heard that the blackmailing lady has hired to defend her illicit
act. Keyamo is known to be a controversial lawyer and we have found out that he
was threatening to pursue the case which in its entirety is a hoax. Besides,
while investigating the lady after her plan to extort the man of God, it was
discovered that the lady had a connection with Keyamo.

“Also, recorded voices
of Stephanie and Wisdom revealed that the gang has a link with the dreaded Boko
Haram because the gang had earlier threatened to unleash Boko Haram on Apostle
Suleman should he refuse to release the N500 million to them.”
