Apostle Johnson Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries International, has challenged Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar to back up her claims against him in court.
Suleman demands that Abubakar prove her claims at the trial of a 1 billion Naira defamation lawsuit brought against her last year through his attorney, Dr. Abdul Mahmud.
His attorney claimed in a statement released on Friday that the actress had “unjustly attacked, maligned, and defamed” his client in order to use blackmail to get money from him.
The pastor was given the assurance by the attorney that he would obtain justice in court regarding her series of false statements.
Due to Halima Abubakar and her attorney’s absence, the court trial has been set for June 6 and 7, 2023.
Apostle Suleman sues Halima Abubakar for N1billion
Late last year, that Apostle Suleman filed a lawsuit against Halima Abubakar for defamation of his character.
The suit titled “DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS CONCERNING APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN: NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST” was specifically addressed to Halima Abubakar over her outburst on social media regarding her past affairs with the man of God.
The suit accused Halima Abubakar of publishing damaging, malicious, and defamatory statements about Apostle Suleman against his conduct.
The ailing actress was also asked to make a retracting statement in some selected National Newspapers.
Halima Abubakar, who was unbothered by the suit and threat, challenged him.
The actress didn’t chicken out as she promised to see him in court.
“JS Sure see you at the court”, she wrote.
