The M.S Amune & Co (Omega Chambers), solicitors to Apostle Johnson Suleman, founder of Omega Fire Ministries has threatened to file a law suit against Israel Balogun over a 'miracle money' video he posted on his YouTube channel, Wholeness Africa Initiative. 

 

Balogun, in one of his videos, condemned a miracle service organised by Suleman where the cleric was heard telling members that he would command angels to drop money into the bank accounts of those who believe.

 

The programmes were held in Edo, Nigeria and Atlanta, USA in June and July, 2021 respectively. 

 

 

In reaction, Suleman's solicitors sent a letter dated 27th July to Balogun demanding a retraction of the posts (video and write-ups) alongside a written apology to the minister. 

 

They stated that Balogun's action was a case of defamation of character against Apostle Suleman whose church, Omega Fire Ministries has members in 52 countries of the world. 

 

In the letter, Balogun's statements were described as ‘hate speech, cybercrime terrorism, unsubstantiated and threat to his (Suleman's) social and religious image.

 

 

They stated explicitly that failure to do as requested will attract a full lawsuit against Balogun.

 

 

The letter which was titled, Defamation on the person of Apostle Johnson Suleman read, “We act as solicitors to Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries hereinafter called our client and on whose specific mandate we write you concerning the above captioned subject matter.
