General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has sparked outrage after boasting that speaking against him near his church in Auchi, Edo State, could lead to deadly consequences.
In a viral video that has since circulated widely, Suleman claimed that his followers might resort to violence against any critics. He ominously warned, “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. 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.”
This alarming statement has drawn heavy criticism online, with many questioning its appropriateness for a religious leader. The comments have raised concerns about the potential for inciting violence and undermining the principles of peace and forgiveness often associated with faith leaders.
Suleman further recounted an incident in which alleged cultists physically assaulted someone for insulting him, forcing the individual to apologise. “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,” Suleman added, seemingly justifying their actions.
The backlash against Suleman’s remarks has been swift, with many calling for accountability from the influential pastor and urging him to promote a message of peace rather than threats of violence.
