00:00Founder of Sahara Reporters News Media, Omiele Sawari on Saturday apparently refused to back down on allegations against the founder and the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleiman over reported cases of alleged paying people to fake miracles and give a chemical substance or injection to Apostle O.C. Benjamin of Fulfillers House Church to perfect an alleged fake miracle of raising a dead man back to life.
00:28An allegation a man simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made while speaking during an interview with Car Truth Media earlier in the year, which, according to Omiele Sawari, for Apostle Johnson Suleiman to remove the names of the media that conducted the podcast interview and the person that made the statement in the 1 billion nairahs lawsuit filed against him and Sahara Reporters News Media, shows, Apostle Johnson Suleiman knows the speaker.
00:56Apostle Wisdom was probably saying the truth.
00:59This, Omiele Sawari stated in reaction to the statement earlier made by Apostle Johnson Suleiman on his personal social media accounts on Saturday, accusing the founder of Sahara Reporters, Omiele Sawari of always trying to play the victim's role that wants to be persecuted for.
01:18Or, fighting for Nigeria, whenever a case is filed against him in the court of law for passing across false and misleading information to defame someone's character, saying that, forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt and one cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse.
01:37In the podcast interview, Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle Benjamin in conspiracy with some members of his church, hired a man from Enugu State and numbers of other persons who acted as neighbors and family members that brought the hired and paid man to the church program held in a Bonnyi State as a dead man.
01:55According to the Apostle Wisdom, the hired man who pretended to be dead was put inside a coffin and transported from Enugu to a Bonnyi State with an ambulance.
02:06He said the coffin was not covered until the man was brought closer to the church to avoid him being killed out of suffocation.
02:13Apostle Wisdom said the initial plan was to inject the hired and paid man with an injection Apostle Johnson Suleiman allegedly gave to Apostle Benjamin.
02:23Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle Benjamin refused to use the injection because he was afraid that the chemical substance may kill the hired and paid man.
02:32Hence, they decided to open the coffin until the time for the fake and staged miracle was to be conducted.
02:38To buttress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said the man that was brought as if he was dead to the church program was sweating because the few minutes the man was covered inside the coffin, he suffered some level of heat that made his body start sweating.
02:52Sawari in numbers of statements between Friday and Saturday, said,
02:57For your information, Apostle Johnson Suleiman has sued me regarding the controversy surrounding his alleged support for individuals faking miracles during an interview conducted by Car Truth.
03:08This lawsuit marks the second occasion Apostle Johnson Suleiman has taken legal action against me over contentious decisions made during his ministry,
03:18following a previous lawsuit concerning Stephanie Otobo that he later amended and removed Otobo.
03:24The case has been ongoing for approximately eight years, and the most straightforward aspect to prove in court would be the matter of miracles.
03:33Apostle Johnson Suleiman, this charlatanism's.
03:36Who is asking you for forgiveness?
03:38You sued me eight years ago over Stephanie Otobo exposes and later sought to end the lawsuit on the condition that I stop exposing you.
03:47I refused.
03:48You sent Frank Shabu to plead on your behalf.
03:51I told him plainly that the facts were correct.
03:54At the time, the Nigeria police force was at your beck and call, arresting whoever you pointed at.
04:00That era is over, we ended it completely, you even went as far as offering to stand surety for me when the Mohamedou Buhari regime arrested and detained me for treason.
04:12I rejected your Greek gift outright and called you out from detention because I know your style too well.
04:18This latest noise is pure bluster.
04:21If you were serious about any legal challenge, you would have included the podcaster Car Truth and the individual who alleged that you assisted other pastors in staging fake miracles.
04:31You claimed they've apologized and claimed they don't know you.
04:36This was a lie.
04:38The podcast is very much alive and unretracted.
04:41You avoided them because you know where the truth lies.
04:44I do not need anyone to tell me that you perform fake miracles.
04:48Your staged money alerts to your congregation are well known and long documented.
04:52Could you please explain to the public why you amended your lawsuit against me, Sahara Reporters, and removed Stephanie Otobo?
05:01Was it not because you feared she would testify as my witness after which you paid her to come apologize before your congregation and then sent her fake alert?
05:11Did you not purchase a Mercedes-Benz GLK SUV and a house in the Maryland area of Lagos for a Nollywood actress, Daniela Akeke?
05:20And, when we uncovered the receipts, rushed to the Lagos state government to scrub the evidence from the Vehicle Licensing Database website.
05:28I am particularly interested in this lawsuit because the time has come for charlatans like you to be confronted before a court of law and compelled to prove your so-called miracles and defend your ways before the courts.
05:41After all you were the one who had sued.
05:43I am not the victim here.
05:45My concern is for your victims, those whose meager offerings and tithes you have diverted to fund these decadent pursuits.
05:53I feel deeply for them including the Nigeria police force officers who had to perish defending your decadent lifestyle in unarmored vehicles.
06:02At the same time, you rode in bulletproof armored cars into safety.
06:06Apostle Johnson Suleiman in a statement on Saturday, said,
06:10You Omiele Saware have consistently defamed individuals, and whenever you are challenged to substantiate your claims, you retreat under the guise of being persecuted for, fighting for Nigeria.
06:23No one is attempting to silence you.
06:25Rather, the goal is to expose you for the fraud that you are.
06:29You Saware lied and defamed me, dragging my name into a fabricated story involving people I have never met and you were warned and given ample time to retract the falsehood, but you refused.
06:41Why the sudden attempt to play the victim simply because the matter is now in court?
06:46I am among those who genuinely believe Nigeria needs cleansing, but not through hypocrisy or deceit.
06:52Fair journalism demands that your publications be balanced, verified, and unbiased.
06:59Qualities you obviously have no regards for.
07:02For eight years, I chose to ignore you.
07:05That restraint has now ended.
07:07Every further unsubstantiated attack on pastors and churches in Nigeria, driven by your anti-church and anti-pastor agenda, will no longer go without an appropriate legal response.
07:18To those calling for forgiveness, understand this clearly.
07:23Forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt.
07:26One cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse.
07:31As stated in, 1 John 1, 9, forgiveness follows confession, not denial.
07:38Sahara Reporters in a news report over the issue has stated that,
07:43Apostle Johnson Suleyman, the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International,
07:48has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Sahara Reporters, demanding a retraction of a report published in April 2025,
07:56and an apology across multiple national newspapers.
07:59The, cleric is also seeking 1 billion nairas in damages over what he describes as malicious and defamatory allegations linking him to a staged resurrection miracle.
08:10The dispute stems from claims made by Apostle Wisdom, a self-styled former associate of several Nigerian clergymen,
08:18who alleged in a viral interview that Apostle O.C. Benjamin of Fulfillers House Church staged a fake resurrection using an,
08:25injection, allegedly obtained from Apostle Suleyman.
08:30According to Wisdom, the substance was intended to temporarily make a person appear dead for the purpose of performing a miracle at a crusade.
08:38The claims were amplified in an April 4, 2025 Sahara Reporters publication titled,
08:44Apostle Johnson Suleyman Gave Fulfillers House Church's O.C. Benjamin injection to make someone appear dead for staged resurrection miracle,
08:53ex-associate.
08:55In the interview granted to the Cartruths podcast, Apostle Wisdom had alleged that the supposed miracle was executed using a hired young man,
09:04rented ambulance, purchased casket, and paid actors who posed as grieving relatives.
09:10According to him, the scheme was part of a coordinated plan to deceive worshippers during a program in Abakaliki.
09:16He claimed that Apostle Benjamin initially intended to use the alleged injection link to Suleyman but backed out over fears the young man might actually die.
09:26My augur, Apostle O.C. Benjamin, collected injection from Apostle Suleyman, he told me himself, Wisdom said in the interview.
09:36He described intricate preparations, paying people to act as family members, transporting the dead body from Enugu state,
09:44and staging dramatic confrontations with ushers who initially refused to allow the casket inside the hall.
09:51Wisdom narrated how the dead man, shut inside the coffin, endured heat and near suffocation before, sneezing, at the climax of the performance,
10:00triggering wild jubilation from the crowd.
10:03The angel in charge of raising the dead was even confused that day because nobody died, he mockingly remarked,
10:10describing the atmosphere as both chaotic and deeply manipulative.
10:14However, the fallout from the interview has now escalated into a full-blown legal confrontation.
10:20In a letter dated April 8, 2025 and addressed to Sahara Reporter's publisher,
10:26Omiyele Sawari, Suleyman's lawyers, Clement Onwemuna and company,
10:32accused the media platform of propagating outright falsehoods without verifying from the cleric.
10:37The letter described the publication as an aggravated libelous assault crafted from the spiral imaginations of a mischief-maker and blackmailer
10:45whose allegations were spread uncritically.
10:47Our client has never met any Apostle O.C. Benjamin,
10:52not to talk of giving him injection or substance to inject anyone to stage-manage resurrection miracles,
10:59the letter stated.
11:00Suleyman's lawyers also referenced a new video by Apostle O.C. Benjamin himself,
11:06which has reportedly been circulating online.
11:09In the video, Benjamin allegedly denies ever meeting Apostle Suleyman,
11:13dismissing the claims attributed to Apostle Wisdom as false, fabricated, and malicious.
11:20According to Suleyman's legal team,
11:22Sahara Reporter's willingness to publish the allegations despite the absence of verification
11:27demonstrates a frenzied effort to disparage our client
11:30and constitutes the most wicked attack on the towering image of the televangelist.
11:35The letter issued a strict 48-hour deadline for Sahara Reporters to
11:40retract the publication from all online platforms where it appeared
11:44and publish a formal apology on the same platforms.
11:47Publish full-page apologies in Punch, Guardian, Vanguard, Tribune, and Sunday Sun newspapers.
11:54Pay 1 billion nairas, 1 billion naira, as damages.
11:59Failure to meet these conditions, the lawyers said,
12:03would compel them to, perfect our client's standing instructions, signaling.
12:08Impending litigation, the letter was copied to Apostle Suleyman himself
12:12and marked pre-litigation notice.
12:14So while he was deaf and deaf, if they may call the pastor.
12:18Ah, no, no, no.
12:19He was my pastor.
12:21One day I was in the minister's...
12:23He smothered him that day.
12:25Who quickly rushed this guy?
12:27And he was talking.
12:28He said, I raised the dead.
12:30Who quickly rushed him?
12:32You can raise the dead.
12:34He said, I'm not.
12:34Papa, papa, come bring his moto.
12:36Hey, you enter moto.
12:37Ah, we move.
12:40Small bit him, we beat him.
12:42Small bit him.
12:43How you manage the make-up?
12:44If he has not done it, then there is an impossibility.
12:47So, if he will kill...
12:49He said, you can raise the dead.
12:50If he will kill this guy's feet.
12:52People, we are shouting.
12:53I wasn't shouting.
12:53We need him.
12:54We went after the PT.
12:57How can you...
12:58How can you be deaf and deaf and deaf when you are making call?
13:01Who gave you phone?
13:03I began to look for...
13:05Enter a new word.
13:07Who gave you phone?
13:08How you manage the phone number?
13:10I enter another word.
13:11I say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:13Yeah, it's the word.
13:13He forgot him is that.
13:15Yes, he forgot.
13:16He forgot that he has not finished his work.
13:18That his work finished when he...
13:19Where's the moto to go back?
13:21I say, I want to go and pray.
13:22This is my friend.
13:22What am I saying?
13:24I left there.
13:25I was going around, I saw...
13:26Oh, God.
13:28My brother, there is nothing like that.
13:30Now, we, they bring them.
13:33We have a lot of...
13:35Just bring mercenaries.
13:37They will come.
13:40Even if you want them...
13:41Okay, like, when we raise the dead person.
13:44Sorry.
13:45When we acted the dead person, will nobody die?
13:47We don't raise anybody.
13:50When we acted the dead person.
13:51The baby was not dead.
13:53The young man who hired the ambulance from Enubu state.
14:00We didn't hire it in Enubu state.
14:02It was at the crusade.
14:03The program was held in Ezeko Nahor in Abakeleke.
14:10It's Ezeko Nahor.
14:11Ezeko Nahor in Abakeleke.
14:14That is a...
14:15When I finished praying, the baby died.
14:16Enubu street.
14:19Behind motherless baby's home.
14:23People that knows, that follow those emailing very well, they know about all this.
14:29We hired the young man.
14:31And the ambulance.
14:32We bought the casket.
14:35We only paid the ambulance man.
14:37We came with 12 extra people.
14:41Oh, you came to finish it.
14:43To act as the family, the compound, the neighbor, the...
14:47The more...
14:48The more...
14:48The more...
14:48The more...
14:49So it will be 12.
14:52Extra people.
14:53God, if you deliver me today, that was all we hired.

15:14What is left again now?
15:16For you not to believe.

15:20They said, we know...
15:21The woman entered the casket.
15:22You people with Bible.

15:55You understand?
15:55He told me himself.
15:57I was his PA.
15:58And held the mother.
15:59But that he's afraid.
16:02Of injecting that young man.
16:06May the guy no come die.
16:10But he was told that that injection would just...
16:12The injection has time to expire.
16:20And on the line, he was very...
16:22He was afraid of giving the guy the injection.
16:25Even when the guy agreed.
16:26People are taking risk of the DNA.
16:31The guy agreed.
16:32Accepted the conditions.
16:34That he would give him the injection.
16:36And nothing would happen.
16:37But he was afraid.
