I've found peace with God, I’ll mention names in court – Stephanie Otobo denies Sahara Reporters' video

Stephanie Otobo, a Canada-based singer who claimed to have had an affair with the founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has vowed to mention the names of those who asked her to blackmail the pastor.

Recall that Otobo accused Suleman of assaulting her sexually, but in a twist, the singer made a U-turn, begging Suleman and his wife for forgiveness.

In a video where she stood before Suleman’s congregation in Auchi, Edo state, Otobo said she was “heavily paid” by powerful politicians and some pastors to blackmail the preacher.

However, a video where she accused Suleman of pressurising her to make a false confession trended on social media today as shared by Sahara Reporters.

In a chat with Vanguard, Otobo denied the video which was reportedly recorded in June 2017 where she said Apostle Suleman forced her to confess.

She said she  begged the pastor in order to  "have peace with God"

“I was not lured, kidnapped, forced or paid to confess. I confessed for my own peace of mind and my wellbeing as a human being,” she said.

“How much can the Apostle pay me that will match what I was paid, and I am still being offered more, by my sponsors?

“For those of you asking me to mention names, sure, I will mention names in court because they have been sending emails and texts offering me a lot of money but I cannot be manipulated anymore.”

She urged all parties involved in the scandal to move on, saying she has found peace with God and herself.
