Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has declared her support for Apostle Johnson Suleman, general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, following her colleague, Halima Abubakar‘s public apology.
Halima’s apology came on the back of her defamatory statements against Suleman.
In 2022, the actress claimed that she and the cleric had a romantic relationship.
This was after a blog alleged Johnson had affairs with several actresses including Halima, Okorie, Georgina Onuoha, Queen Nwokoye, Shan George, and Vivian Metchie.
Others included Lilian Bach, Iyabo Ojo, Ruth Kadiri, Mercy Johnson, Chinyere Winifred, Larriet Omo Brish, Ini Edo, Joy Ogbunu, and Mary Uranta.
The allegations escalated in 2023 with Halima alleging she got pregnant thrice for the cleric.
Suleman threatened legal action, leading to a federal high court in Abuja ordering Halima to pay N10 million in damages for defamation in April.
Halima recently apologised, acknowledging her statements were “false and hurtful.” She sought forgiveness from the cleric and his family, citing “deep reflections and conscience”.
However, Suleman responded that Halima’s apology cannot erase the memories.
In a recent Instagram post, Okorie expressed her support for Suleman who she described as “my father”.
She stated that her colleague’s apology marks the beginning of more apologies from people who falsely accused him, emphasizing that “God will expose them”.
“Dem never start to apologise. My father, Apostle John Suleman. God will continue to expose them,” she wrote.
