Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has issued a public apology to Apostle Johnson Suleman, the Senior Pastor and General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, for her defamatory remarks against him.
In a statement shared on her Instagram account on Wednesday, Abubakar admitted that her past statements were “false and hurtful”.
The actress conveyed her regret for the pain she inflicted with the allegations while pleading for forgiveness from Apostle Suleman and his family.
She attributed her actions to poor judgment at the time, noting that the apology was motivated by “deep reflection and conscience.”
“I am writing to you today to acknowledge the falsehoods I made against you on social media and to offer my sincere apology,” the letter reads.
“After deep reflection and in order for my conscience to be in accord with God, I have realised the depth of the harm, pain, and distress caused by my lies.
“I admit that I made false allegations against you and also regret my actions and the damage I caused to you, your wife, Dr Mrs Lizzy Suleiman, your family, and the leaders of Omega Fire Ministries. With this letter, I humbly ask for your forgiveness, recognising that my apology cannot undo the harm, pain, and distress I caused.
Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior Pastor and General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has responded to Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar’s public apology for her defamatory comments, asserting that forgiveness does not equate to memory loss.
In a terse statement on X.com on Wednesday, Suleman said, “You all stop calling my phone. Forgiveness is not memory loss! Status quo maintained!”
