The last has not been heard on the messy fight between Nollywood star actress, Halima Abubakar and Omega Fire Ministries International Founder, Apostle Johnson Suleman, whom she alleged she had series of abortions for.
Be that as it may, the popular pastor has challenged the actress to subject her allegation against him in court.
Apostle Suleman stated this through his lawyer, Dr Abdul Mahmud. He said Halima should subject the purported claims against him to judicial scrutiny by filing a defence to a N1 billion damages suit filed against her.
The lawyer in a statement said his client was “unjustly attacked, maligned and defamed” by the actress with the intention to blackmail him for monetary gains.
Mahmoud revealed that it was because of Halima’s relentless libelous attacks against Suleiman that a N1 billion damages suit was filed against her before the FCT High Court in Abuja.
He said; “Prior to instituting the lawsuit, we served the Letter of Cease and Desist on the said actress on behalf of our client but she persisted in her relentless and scurrilous attacks on our client.”
“Following the order of the court, substituted service of the court processes were advertised in a national daily.”
“On the return date of 27th March, 2023, the said actress or her counsel did not appear before the court.”
“The court, therefore, adjourned the hearing to 6th and 7th June, 2023 for a definite hearing of our client’s suit.”
“Following the order of the court, the hearing notice of the case for June 7 was equally published in a national newspaper and on the Instagram handle of the actress.”
“We are ready to open and close our client’s case during the two days the court has in its judicious powers allocated to our client in its docket.”
“We shall press and establish our client’s claims for damages against Halima Abubakar, the queen of social media’s pity party and clown of the circus that she passes off as the court of public opinion, expose her lies against our client;
“We shall show that she is unwilling to subject her pack of lies and unfounded claims to judicial scrutiny, hence her refusal to file her defence against the lawsuit of our client and or to enter appearance before the court.”
For those who don’t know, Halima Abubakar, had before now alleged that Apostle Suleman was having a romantic affair with her.
The actress accused the pastor of having intercourse with her. She alleged that while she was bleeding the pastor kept having intercourse with her. She equally said she was three times pregnant for the pastor and that she lost the pregnancies.
