Bank Statements Confirm Apostle Suleman Severally Deposited Monies Into Account Of Stephanie Otobo

Sahara Reporters has obtained new evidence that Apostle Johnson Suleman, the leader of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, made several monetary deposits into the Nigerian account of Stephanie Otobo, the Canada-based Nigerian musician who was arrested by the police in Lagos in cooperation with the pastor.

While the pastor has continued to deny he has had a relationship with her, the police have charged her and one other person with terrorism and blackmail.  

Ms. Otobo was also arrested by the Force Criminal Investigation Department as she made to withdraw funds from her local account during her visit to Nigeria from Canada.

A statement of bank account in the possession of SaharaReporters showed that in the period between June 1st and December 31, 2015, Apostle Suleman made direct deposits totaling at least N2million into Ms. Otobo’s account as their romantic relationship blossomed. 

The first deposit of N900,000 was deposited on July 22, 2015, followed by a smaller deposit of N200,000k on September 2, 2016. A week later on September 14, while she was visiting Nigeria, Mr. Suleman deposited N1million into her account.

In November 2015, Apostle Suleman appeared to have changed the manner of depositing funds into the account, turning to using other people.   On November 4, one Adewunmi TO made a web-based deposit into the account.

Towards the end of 2015, another person, Gbenga Adegbadebo acting on Apostle Suleman's behalf, made three deposits: N340,000 on November 10; N238,000 on November 24; and N170,000 on December 10. Ms. Otobo also alleges Mr. Adegbadebo, a Nigerian based in Canada was us a conduit through which Suleman send hard currencies to her in Canada as Mr. Adegbadebo runs an unorthodox "money remittance company " between Nigeria and Canada.

Ms. Otobo also said that she did an HIV test in October 2016 in Canada when she got pregnant for Apostle Suleman with the aim of showing that she was HIV-free as she began stooling blood. She supplied the medical record to SaharaReporters.

Apostle Suleman, refusing to acknowledge his relationship with Ms. Otobo, used the police to have her arrested, detained and tortured before she was charged to court for extortion and terrorism. 

Recently, she pressured Ms. Otobo’s mother and her siblings to appear in his church to openly "apologize" to him in a manner that humiliated her mother and other family members.  He has also continued to use his pulpit to harass Ms. Otobo, and, according to persons knowledgeable about his tactics, also recruited trolls to attack her personality on the Internet.

Several persons knowledgeable about the situation have confirmed to Sahara Reporters how Apostle Suleman engages in unbridled womanizing using funds collected from poor church members to pay off his lovers with luxury items and real estate.  

Only recently, Sahara Reporters traced a Mercedes-Benz car Mr. Suleman purchased for Nollywood actor Daniella Okeke on the website of the Lagos Motor Vehicle licensing commission authority.

Further investigations revealed that Apostle Suleman also bought a house for Ms. Okeke in the Mende neighborhood of Maryland, in Lagos from a fashion designer, David Eweje aka David Wej.  Since our exposure of that deal, attempts have commenced to sell the property.

Mr. Suleman has reportedly filed a defamation lawsuit against this website and Ms. Otobo as a way of intimidating others.  As one of his prayers, Apostle Suleman is said to be asking a Lagos court to issue an injunction stopping Sahara Reporters from further publishing anything on him relating to his adulterous exploits.  

Sahara Reporters has yet to be notified of the lawsuit, if any.  Mr.  Suleman had also threatened to sue Festus Keyamo, whose Lagos chambers is representing Ms. Otobo, for N1 billion.

An Indian TV presenter has been praised as “extremely brave” after she reportedly read out the breaking news of her husband’s death in a car accident on a 24-hour popular news channel.

Supreet Kaur read out the news bulletin after a reporter phoned in details of a fatal accident, which had killed three of the five people travelling in a Renault Duster.

The 28-year-old quickly realized her husband was likely to be one of those killed as he was meant to travel in a Renault Duster along the same route and at the same time with four companions, the Hindustan Times reports.

A news anchor for Chhattisgarh’s IBC-24 channel for nine years, Ms Kaur kept her composure throughout the news bulletin.

It was only after the news hour, when she walked out of the TV studio, that she reportedly broke down.

One of her colleagues told the Indian newspaper: “She is an extremely brave lady. We are proud of her as an anchor, but what happened today has left us in shock.”

A senior editor said her colleagues realized that her husband was dead while she was reading the news but he said they “did not have the courage to tell her”.

Ms Kaur reportedly married Harsad Kawade a year ago and the couple were living in Raipur, the capital of the Chhattisgarh state.

Update! Seun Egbegbe Cries Out After 2 Months In Prison, Unable To Meet Bail Conditions

Big boy and alleged serial thief/fraudster, Seun Egbegbe is complaining about the strict nature of his N5 million bail which he was granted since February 24, 2017.

Seun Egbegbe, who has spent two months in Ikoyi prison for theft, revealed that he is unable to find two sureties with the profile required by the court.

The judge had reportedly ruled that the two sureties in the like sum of N2.5 million each must be: a civil servant on level 16 who deposits his international passport, and a property owner in Lagos metropolis who deposits a certificate of occupancy.

Both sureties are also to be mandatorily profiled with their office and home addresses verified.

“Where do they expect him to get the sureties? who would leave the passport and certificate of occupancy with the court until the case which may last four years ends? Who will risk losing N2.5 million as surety for a case that has not even really started?” a close associate of Egbebe stated.

That is why before anyone get involved in a bad act, he/she should first think of consequences.

Nigerian surgeon arrested for sexual assault in Texas, US

Nigerian orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Donald Okechukwu Ozumba has been arrested by McKinney police, Texas on suspicion that he sexually assaulted two female patients while they were under his care.

Dr. Donald Okechukwu Ozumba, 44, faces two charges of sexual assault, according to court records. McKinney police arrested him Friday, March 31, and booked him at the Collin County Jail, where his bail was set at $50,000.

However, his family has denied the allegation. A statement issued to  NBC5, on Monday,  reads:

"We flatly deny each and every false allegation and are confident that the legal system will vindicate Dr. Ozumba. We appreciate the support from our local and global community."

According to Dallas News, one of the women went to his office last week to be treated for a sports injury. She told police that the doctor exposed half of her genitals to check for internal fluid and told her he needed to rub in the medication he had injected under her left hip.

Ozumba massaged the area, then penetrated the woman's genitals with his fingers and massaged her inside, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. The woman's husband was sitting behind the doctor but couldn't see what was happening , police said.

The woman told police that she contacted another doctor after the visit and asked whether what Ozumba had done was normal procedure. The second doctor informed her that Ozumba was "absolutely not supposed to penetrate her vagina," according to the arrest warrant affidavit.

Shortly after the visit, Ozumba asked the woman to download a messaging app and sent her a text asking what her favorite part of the procedure was, according to the affidavit.

The woman told police that she texted him back with a message that said "Not receiving a script," then deleted the app. Ozumba continued to text the woman and asked her to come back in, according to police.

Another woman reported a sexual assault to McKinney police in August that occurred during an appointment with Ozumba the same month, records show. According to an arrest warrant, she said she had gone to the doctor to get a shot for a physical disability.

Police believe that there may be other victims who were embarrassed to come forward. Now, they are urging anyone who was treated by Dr. Ozumba and was sexually abused to come forward. 

According to his website, Dr. Ozumba participates in medical mission trips to his native Nigeria.

“He co-founded the Center for Advanced Specialty Surgery based in Lagos, with a mission to improve the quality of life by advancing the practice of orthopedics and other surgical specialties through investment, education, skills transfer, and providing the highest quality of care one patient at a time,” the website states.

He has since been released on bail pending the starting of the court case.
