Glamtush reports that 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, the actress 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 stated that the apology was driven by “deep reflection and conscience,” attributing her actions to her bad judgment at the time.
The apology letter reads, “I am writing to you today to acknowledge the falsehoods I made against you on social media and to offer my sincere apology.”
“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.
“I ask you to find a place in your heart to forgive me, as I was not thinking clearly at that time. Sir, you have done a lot for humanity; please extend your hands of forgiveness to me,” she explained.
Glamtush recalls that Abubakar had alleged on social media in 2022 that she had a romantic relationship with Suleman, prompting threats of legal action from the cleric over “defamatory statements.”
The controversy intensified in 2023 when the actress claimed she had been pregnant three times with Suleman’s child.
However, in April, a federal high court in Abuja ruled in favour of Apostle Suleman, ordering Halima to pay N10 million in damages for defamation.
The court also restrained her from publishing defamatory statements against the cleric.
