In response to the N1 billion damages suit (threat) embattled Apostle Johnson Suieman dangled in its face last week, the Festus Keyamo Chambers in Lagos has warned Suleman to prepare for more shockers the adultery allegation clubbable Stephanie Otobo, 22, made against the pastor.
The law firm said on the weekend that not only does it have graphic proof of the pastor’s relationship with Otobo, but that other “unfortunate victims” of his have come forward and are also itching to tell their stories.
Suleman’s lawyer Osa Director on Thursday asked Keyamo, whose law firm is representing Otobo, to retract all publications, apologize publicly to him, and pay him N1bn for alleged blackmail and injuries inflicted on him.
In a statement signed by Uchenna B. Moneke and Oluwafemi O.N. Olabisi, two lawyers from the Keyamo Chambers , the firm said that Keyamo is not personally involved in the matter.
“Apart from an informal and friendly phone conversation Mr. Festus Keyamo had with a reporter in Punch Newspapers and one other blog about this matter, Mr. Keyamo has never personally signed or issued any letter or press release on this issue,” the statement said.
According to the statement, the Omega Fire Ministry’s foiunder’s allegations of state conspiracies to embarrass him–because he spoke for southern Kaduna Christians–are not only pathetic but ludicrous and a nonsensical smokescreen:
Following Otobo’s request to ask her alleged ex-lover certain questions, the lawyers demanded to know, “Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen that instructed him to be paying millions into the account of our client who he calls a “stripper” all the way in Canada.
‘Whether it is his special calling as a so-called “man of God” to be paying millions to strippers and prostitutes to leave their trade, when there are poor women and widows within his congregation in Nigeria that need help badly.
“Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen that instructed him to be exchanging amorous text messages with a girl he calls “a stripper”. These text messages would all be investigated and revealed when full criminal investigations commence.
“Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen that instructed him to be having Skype conversations with Miss Stephanie Otobo and to be requesting her to open her bare breasts to him.
“Whether it is the Hausa/Fulani herdsmen that told him to be exposing his private part to Miss Stephanie on Skype; which pictures are in our custody.”
Going further , the chamber said when criminal investigations commence, all these text messages and pictures would be subjected to serious forensic analysis, and the truth would be established,” the statement said.
“The hotels they slept in and the evidence of their meetings in and out of this country would be revealed. The pitiable excuse of “photoshop” has become a convenient escape route for all culprits caught on tape these days.”
