Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, is once again at the center of public backlash following a controversial statement suggesting that critics who speak against him near his church in Auchi, Edo State, could face violent consequences.
In a viral video that surfaced on social media on April 4, 2025, Suleman made a shocking declaration during a church service, claiming that those wishing for death could easily find it by publicly criticizing him in front of his church.
“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,” Suleman said.
“Come to Auchi, stand by the front gate of our church, and say something against me. Somebody will kill you, another will bury you, and the third will be doing praise and worship on your dead body,” he added.
The remarks have drawn widespread condemnation, with many questioning how such rhetoric aligns with the values expected of a spiritual leader.
The preacher also recounted a disturbing story involving alleged cult members who, after hearing someone insult him, physically assaulted the individual and brought him to Suleman for an apology.
“I’ve had cult boys bring people to me and say, ‘This boy was insulting you, we beat him and told him to apologise.’ I asked them, ‘Who are you?’ They said, ‘You no go like who we be, but you don help us.’ Kindness,” Suleman recounted.
The comments have sparked heated debates online, raising concerns about the influence of religious figures and the potential incitement of violence among followers.
