Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has sparked a significant controversy following a statement he made regarding critics of his ministry. In a video shared on social media, Suleman warned that anyone who spoke against him near his church in Auchi, Edo State, could face severe consequences, even death.
He explicitly stated, “If you want to die and you’ve been praying for death, but it hasn’t come, there’s a way to make it happen.” He then ominously added that critics who stand by the church gate and speak against him would not survive, implying that his followers would take violent action against them.
Suleman went further to explain that some of his supporters, whom he referred to as "cult boys," had already dealt with people who criticized him. He recalled incidents where individuals were brought to him, having been beaten for speaking ill of him, and were forced to apologize.
The pastor’s comments have sparked outrage and raised concerns about his influence over his followers and the nature of the loyalty he demands from them.
Many have condemned his remarks, citing them as incitement to violence. Critics have questioned the ethical and spiritual integrity of a leader who encourages such extreme loyalty from his followers, especially through threats and fear. Suleman’s warning has sparked a broader debate about the power dynamics within religious institutions in Nigeria and the potential dangers of unchecked authority.
This incident has drawn attention to the dangerous consequences of cult-like behavior in religious settings and the vulnerability of individuals who challenge powerful religious figures. The controversy is expected to escalate as more Nigerians react to the implications of Suleman’s statements.
