Apostle Johnson Suleiman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International was attacked by unknown gunmen less than 24 hours ago. The attack happened when Apostle Suleiman and his convoy were traveling on the Benin-Auchi highway in Edo state, Nigeria. The incident is believed to be a kidnapping attempt.
Seven lives were lost during the attack on the popular televangelist. He was with his wife and kids when the attack happened. He and his family survived the incident and are all doing well per a statement he just released.
Four Police Men were among the seven people who unfortunately lost their lives. Apostle Suleiman in a video released a few hours ago after the incident stated that people may not understand but it all began in 2017 and he knows those behind it. “People who did this are expecting me to come out and mention their names so they will come and deny it, I won’t do that” – He said
He told his well-wishers “I’m alive, for those who have been calling,… I’m well, the family is fine. I feel bad for the lives that have been taken, we are mourning, but Jesus is Lord. And to all those that they killed, may their souls rest in peace.”
He went on to say he will not take the lives of the gunmen who attacked him but they will reap the seed they sowed.
He concluded by saying” I want Nigerians to know that a coordinated lie swallows an uncoordinated truth. With time the truth will come out.”
Most people believed to be his followers reacted by giving glory to God. This however did not go down well with some social media users who questioned why glory will be given to God when it was police officers who sacrificed their lives to protect the man of God.

Some feel credit and praise should be given at least in part to the gallant police officers who bravely stood their ground to fight off the attackers at the cost of their own lives.
Latest reports from Nigeria barely an hour ago indicates a Divisional Police Officer has been removed by the Edo State Commissioner of Police for his actions with the sole arrested suspect of the gunmen who attacked Apostle Suleiman.
