0:02
Omi Saware on Saturday apparently
0:05
refused to back down on allegations
0:07
against the founder and the general
0:09
overseer of a mega fire ministry.
0:11
Apostle Johnson slean over reported
0:14
cases of alleged paying people to fake
0:16
miracles and give a chemical substance
0:19
or injection to Apostle OC Benjamin of
0:22
Fulfiller House Church to perfect an
0:24
alleged fake miracle of raising a dead
0:27
man back to life. An allegation a man
0:29
simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made
0:32
while speaking during an interview with
0:35
Carruth Media earlier in the year, which
0:38
according to Omi Saware for Apostle
0:41
Johnson Sleman to remove the names of
0:43
the media that conducted the podcast
0:45
interview and the person that made the
0:47
statement in the 1 billion naira lawsuit
0:50
filed against him and Sahare reporters
0:52
news media shows Apostle Johnson Sleman
0:55
knows the speaker. Apostle wisdom was
0:58
probably saying the truth. This Omi
1:01
Saware stated in reaction to the
1:03
statement earlier made by Apostle
1:05
Johnson Sleman on his personal social
1:08
media accounts on Saturday accusing the
1:11
founder of Sah reporters Amiles Saware
1:14
of always trying to play the victim's
1:16
role that wants to be persecuted for
1:19
fighting for Nigeria whenever a case is
1:21
filed against him in the court of law
1:23
for passing across false and misleading
1:26
information to defame someone's
1:28
character saying that forgiveness is
1:30
predicated on the admission of guilt and
1:32
one cannot forgive someone who has
1:34
neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor
1:36
shown remorse. In the podcast interview,
1:39
Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle
1:41
Benjamin in conspiracy with some members
1:43
of his church hired a man from Enugu
1:46
state and numbers of other persons who
1:48
acted as neighbors and family members
1:50
that brought the hired and paid man to
1:52
the church program held in a Boni state
1:55
as a dead man. According to the apostle
1:57
wisdom, the hired man who pretended to
2:00
be dead was put inside a coffin and
2:02
transported from Enugu to Abonyi state
2:04
with an ambulance. He said the coffin
2:07
was not covered until the man was
2:09
brought closer to the church to avoid
2:11
him being killed out of suffocation.
2:13
Apostle wisdom said the initial plan was
2:16
to inject the hired and paid man with an
2:18
injection Apostle Johnson Sulleman
2:20
allegedly gave to Apostle Benjamin.
2:23
Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle
2:25
Benjamin refused to use the injection
2:27
because he was afraid that the chemical
2:29
substance may kill the hired and paid
2:31
man. Hence, they decided to open the
2:34
coffin until the time for the fake and
2:36
staged miracle was to be conducted. To
2:39
butress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said
2:42
the man that was brought as if he was
2:43
dead to the church program was sweating
2:45
because the few minutes the man was
2:47
covered inside the coffin, he suffered
2:49
some level of heat that made his body
2:51
start sweating. Sare in numbers of
2:54
statements between Friday and Saturday
2:57
said, "For your information, Apostle
2:59
Johnson Sulleman has sued me regarding
3:01
the controversy surrounding his alleged
3:03
support for individuals faking miracles
3:06
during an interview conducted by car
3:08
truth. This lawsuit marks the second
3:11
occasion Apostle Johnson Sulleman has
3:13
taken legal action against me over
3:15
contentious decisions made during his
3:17
ministry following a previous lawsuit
3:20
concerning Stephanie Otobo that he later
3:22
amended and removed. Otobo. The case has
3:25
been ongoing for approximately 8 years
