Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has sparked controversy with a bold statement, asserting that his followers would be ready to take violent action against anyone who speaks out against him.
A viral video on social media on Friday, April 4, 2025, showed the well-known cleric making a disturbing remark during a church event.
The clergyman warned that any criticism directed at him near his church in Auchi, Edo State, could result in fatal repercussions.
“If you want to die and you’ve been praying for death, but it hasn’t come, there’s a way to make it happen,” Suleman said.
“Come to Auchi, stand by the front gate of our church, and say something against me. Somebody will kill you, another will bury you, and the third will be doing praise and worship on your dead body,” he added.
Suleman also recounted an incident where alleged cultists confronted someone for insulting him. He claimed that the group assaulted the individual and then brought him to the cleric to apologise.
He said, “I’ve had cult boys bring people to me and say, ‘This boy was insulting you, we beat him and told him to apologise.’ I asked them, ‘Who are you?’ They said, ‘You no go like who we be, but you don help us.’ Kindness.”
