1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Founder of Sahara Araporters News Media, Omile Saware, on Saturday

2
00:00:04,960 –> 00:00:08,720
apparently refused to back down on allegations against the founder

3
00:00:08,759 –> 00:00:13,320
and the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman,

4
00:00:13,439 –> 00:00:17,280
over reported cases of alleged paying people to fake miracles

5
00:00:17,320 –> 00:00:21,280
and give a chemical substance or injection to Apostle O. C.

6
00:00:21,600 –> 00:00:25,320
Benjamin of Fulfiller’s House Church to perfect an alleged fake

7
00:00:25,399 –> 00:00:28,679
miracle of raising a dead man back to life, an

8
00:00:28,719 –> 00:00:33,240
allegation a man simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made while

9
00:00:33,280 –> 00:00:38,079
speaking during an interview with Cartruth Media earlier in the year, which,

10
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:42,719
according to Omiele Saware, for Apostle Johnson Suleman to remove

11
00:00:42,799 –> 00:00:45,960
the names of the media that conducted the podcast interview

12
00:00:46,039 –> 00:00:48,560
and the person that made the statement in the one

13
00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:52,640
billion niers lawsuit filed against him and Sahara Araporters News

14
00:00:52,679 –> 00:00:57,840
Media shows Apostle Johnson Suleman knows the speaker, Apostle Wisdom

15
00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:01,880
was probably saying the truth. This, omi Yele Saware stated

16
00:01:01,920 –> 00:01:05,920
in reaction to the statement earlier made by Apostle Johnson

17
00:01:06,079 –> 00:01:11,120
Suleman on his personal social media accounts on Saturday, accusing

18
00:01:11,120 –> 00:01:14,760
the founder of Sahara Reporters, omi Yele Saware of always

19
00:01:14,840 –> 00:01:17,519
trying to play the victim’s role that wants to be

20
00:01:17,599 –> 00:01:22,040
persecuted for fighting for Nigeria whenever a case is filed

21
00:01:22,040 –> 00:01:24,920
against him in the court of law for passing across

22
00:01:24,959 –> 00:01:29,400
false and misleading information to defame someone’s character, saying that

23
00:01:29,840 –> 00:01:32,840
forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt and one

24
00:01:32,840 –> 00:01:37,200
cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse.

25
00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:42,120
In the podcast interview, Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle Benjamin,

26
00:01:42,120 –> 00:01:45,280
in conspiracy with some members of his church, hired a

27
00:01:45,319 –> 00:01:48,359
man from Enugu’s state and numbers of other persons who

28
00:01:48,400 –> 00:01:51,560
acted as neighbors and family members that brought the hired

29
00:01:51,599 –> 00:01:54,200
and paid man to the church program held in a

30
00:01:54,239 –> 00:01:58,480
Bonnie state as a dead man. According to the Apostle Wisdom,

31
00:01:58,719 –> 00:02:00,959
the hired man, who protecd tended to be dead, was

32
00:02:00,959 –> 00:02:03,959
put inside a coffin and transported from Enugu to a

33
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:07,599
Bonyie state with an ambulance. He said the coffin was

34
00:02:07,640 –> 00:02:10,240
not covered until the man was brought closer to the

35
00:02:10,319 –> 00:02:14,360
church to avoid him being killed out of suffocation, Apostle

36
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:17,439
Wisdom said the initial plan was to inject the hired

37
00:02:17,479 –> 00:02:21,159
and paid man with an injection Apostle Johnson Suleman allegedly

38
00:02:21,240 –> 00:02:25,800
gave to Apostle Benjamin. Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle Benjamin

39
00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:28,639
refused to use the injection because he was afraid that

40
00:02:28,680 –> 00:02:32,879
the chemical substance may kill the hired and paid man. Hence,

41
00:02:33,240 –> 00:02:35,800
they decided to open the coffin until the time for

42
00:02:35,879 –> 00:02:39,240
the fake and staged miracle was to be conducted. To

43
00:02:39,319 –> 00:02:42,719
buttress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said, the man that was

44
00:02:42,759 –> 00:02:45,080
brought as if he was dead to the church program

45
00:02:45,240 –> 00:02:47,840
was sweating because the few minutes the man was covered

46
00:02:47,840 –> 00:02:50,719
inside the coffin, he suffered some level of heat that

47
00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:54,439
made his body start sweating. Sir Warey, in numbers of

48
00:02:54,479 –> 00:02:59,520
statements between Friday and Saturday, said, for your information, Apostle

49
00:02:59,599 –> 00:03:03,280
Johnson Suleiman has sued me regarding the controversy surrounding his

50
00:03:03,319 –> 00:03:07,599
alleged support for individuals faking miracles during an interview conducted

51
00:03:07,639 –> 00:03:12,000
by car Truth. This lawsuit marks the second occasion Apostle

52
00:03:12,080 –> 00:03:16,240
Johnson Suleiman has taken legal action against me over contentious

53
00:03:16,240 –> 00:03:20,680
decisions made during his ministry following a previous lawsuit concerning

54
00:03:20,759 –> 00:03:25,000
Stephanie Otobo that he later amended and removed Otobo. The

55
00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:28,479
case has been ongoing for approximately eight years and the

56
00:03:28,520 –> 00:03:32,520
most straightforward aspect of apparent unsafe nature of Nigeria was

57
00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:35,960

00:09:16,480 –> 00:09:19,960
thirty five year old democracy from coup plotters who struck

166
