Music executive Soso Soberekon has reacted to the attack on the president of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide Apostle Johnson Suleman along the Benin-Auchi Road in Edo State by gunmen on Friday.
Suleman’s lawyer, Samuel Amune, confirmed the attack, saying three police orderlies were among those killed. He said Suleman escaped death by a whisker.
“He was returning from a journey and he had almost gotten on the shores of Auchi when some assassins attacked him. Three of his police orderlies, among others died. He travelled before and just finished a programme in Tanzania day before yesterday.
“He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen attacked him along Sabingida down to Warake area, and Auchi shares direct boundary with Warake. So, he had passed Warake and was entering the boundaries of Auchi when the attack happened,” Amune told PUNCH.
Reacting to the tragic incident in an Instagram post, a sad Soso Soberekon wrote: “The policemen left their family hoping to come back home.”
Suleman has a long-running battle with some entertainers over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Celebrities like Iyabo Ojo, Georgina Onuoha, Queen Nwokoye, Shan George, Angela Okorie and Halima Abubakar have been accused of having an affair with the clergyman.
