Nigerian star actress, Halima Abubakar, has responded after Apostle Johnson Suleman, via his lawyers, issued a cease and desist notice and threatened to sue her for defamation.
The Nollywood actress has been speaking up in recent months about her alleged affair with the pastor. She claimed he is responsible for her long-term ailment and also alleged he told her he was divorced at the time she carried on an affair with him.
On Instagram, she said that her life is in danger and that the cleric should be held responsible if anything happens to her.
In the notice signed by Mr Rodney Adzuanaga, the pastor accused Halima Abubakar of publishing malicious, defamatory, and demeaning statements about him on several blogs.
The notice says that the statements are false, untrue, malicious, defamatory, baseless, and a tool for blackmailing Apostle Suleman while reducing him in the eyes of responsible and right-thinking members of society.
The notice also stated that Ms Abubakar must publish a retraction of her earlier statements in five national dailies within three days from Thursday, September 29.
It also demanded that she delivers a letter to the Apostle stating her full assurance and undertaking that she will desist from publishing previous and further defamatory statements against him.
Failure to comply will lead to a civil suit against her, it warned.
Despite the notice, all the allegations Halima made against Suleman remain on her Instagram page.
Halima also took to her Instagram Story to tell Suleman that she will not comply and will rather meet him in court.
She wrote: “JS, sure, see you at the court.”
This is not the first sexual or relationship controversy that Apostle Johnson Suleman will be facing. Not too long ago, the pastor was accused by a Canada-based female Nigerian singer, Stephanie Otobo of having extra marital affair with her.
Ex-pastor of his church, the Omega Fire Ministries, Mr. Mike Davids, has also accused the founder and Overseer of the church, Apostle Johnson Suleman, of sleeping with his wife.
This is another and new alleged scandal.
