Apostle Suleman ends eight-year silence, threatens to sue Sowore 

Apostle Suleman has fired a stinging rebuke at activist and journalist Omoyele Sowore, accusing him of a long history of defamation and hypocrisy under the guise of “fighting for Nigeria.”

In a statement, Suleman accused Sowore of dragging his name into fabricated stories involving people he has never met, despite repeated warnings to retract the claims. “You have consistently defamed individuals, and whenever challenged, you retreat behind claims of persecution. No one is trying to silence you; the truth is you need to be exposed for the fraud that you are,” he said.

Suleman described Sowore’s latest attempt to portray himself as a victim now that the matter is in court as “laughable and cowardly.” He added, “I am among those who genuinely believe Nigeria needs cleansing, but not through hypocrisy, deceit, or fake journalism. Fair reporting demands balance, verification, and truth, qualities you clearly have no regard for.”

The cleric warned that his tolerance had ended after eight years of restraint. “Every unsubstantiated attack on pastors and churches in Nigeria, driven by your anti-church and anti-pastor agenda, will now face an appropriate legal response,” he declared.

Addressing calls for forgiveness, Suleman referenced scripture, emphasizing: “Forgiveness is predicated on admission of guilt. One cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse. As stated in 1 John 1:9, forgiveness follows confession, not denial.”
