Apostle Suleman: A lot of people will go down – Daniella Okeke finally speaks
Nollywood actress, Daniella Okeke has finally responded to allegations that she had an affair with the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
Ms. Okeke was mentioned by Suleman’s self-proclaimed lover Stephanie Otobo, as one of the pastor’s many girlfriends.
Suleman was alleged to have bough a Mercedes Benz 450 GL for the actress.
Ms. Okeke has now taken to her Instagram page, to respond to the allegations, describing them as “lies” and “fake stories”.
She said: “In adherence to my lawyers counsels, I’ve been mute since I read some funny fallacies. My lawyers will do the talking.
“But for sure a lot of people will go down for getting my name involved in something I had no business with. So be careful about what you say or write. My being mute is for legal reasons.”

Apostle Who was Having S*x with Married Church Member Exposed After the Woman's Husband Contracted STDs
A man of God who has been reportedly sleeping with another man's wife has been caught after infecting the woman with a sexually transmitted disease.
An apostle with Living Works Global Church in Zimbabwe is being accused infecting a married woman with sexually transmitted disease, which was later contracted by the woman's husband.
According to H-metro, Apostle Gabriel Cherubim, real name Paul Chipato, is at the centre of the breakup of Royce Mapaike and Tsungirirai Shilling with the man of cloth bonking the married woman when her husband was in South Africa hustling for the family.
There are stunning revelations that the love triangle resulted in a sexually transmitted infection which Royce said he contracted after having s*x with Tsungirirai during one of her visits to South Africa.
H-Metro is in possession of chats between Apostle Cherubim and Tsungirirai where they discussed their s*x life, sharing pictures of their privates with the latter confirming missing s*x with the man of cloth.
“I moved to South Africa some time last year in June and my wife would come every month from our Masvingo base to see me.
“I could not go back home to see her during the period because of some other pressing issues but she would come to see me.
“I was surprised on her visit in December last year when she insisted that we use protection when having sex of which I could not take.
“That is when I contracted a sexually transmitted disease,” said Royce.
He said Tsungirai swore that she was not sleeping around leaving the case in limbo.
“Her sisters went to an extent of defending her saying I was the one who had brought the STI into the home.”
Royce said he started suspecting his wife of cheating.
He said he then got hold of his wife’s phone confirming the relationship with Apostle Cherubim through the WhatsApp conversations.
“They have been sending each other private parts and discussing their sex life,” said Royce.
Tsungirirai threatened this writer after being asked to comment.
“What’s happening in my life has got nothing to do with anyone. I am a very single person and that’s my privacy.
“Let me warn you that if you publish anything about my private life, be prepared for a lawsuit from us,” she said.
She said she was free to date anyone she wanted.

N11billion Fuel Fraud: How Billionaire Businessman, Ifeanyi Ubah was Released from DSS
Billionaire businessman and the managing director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Ifeanyi Ubah, has been released after being arrested by the Department of State Services.
Over the weekend, the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested controversial businessman and Managing Director of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Ubah.
The arrest was disclosed in a statement issued by the DSS signed Mr. Tony Opuiyo, the statement explained that Ubah was arrested on Friday for "economic crimes of national security dimension".
"So far, it has been established that the products stolen amount to over N11billion. There is no doubt that Ubah’s acts have the capacity to negatively impact on national economy," the DSS stated.
According to an exclusive report by SaharaReporters, Ifeanyi Ubah who was arrested by the Special Fraud Unit under Police Commissioner Tunde Ogunsakin (now rtd AIG), confessed that he imported fake fuel into the country and was paid N11 billion from the Petrol Subsidy Fund on the orders of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was gathered that Ubah's release from detention was ordered by the former President. To stop any further investigation of the fraud, Ubah's lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) sued the Police, EFCC and co. Even though Ubah was arrested and detained in Lagos, the case was instituted in Abuja.
The judge who decided the case was Justice Abdu Kafarati of the Federal High Court. In a matter of days, the judge granted all the reliefs of the lawyer. Specifically, the judge granted a perpetual injunction restraining the police and EFCC from ever arresting and prosecuting Ubah in connection with the fraud of N11 billion.
When some whistleblowers recently petitioned President Buhari over the case he was very angry over the use of a Nigerian judge to cover up the fraud of N11 billion.
Since the Department of State Security was not restrained by the federal high court President Buhari directed it to recover the entire proceed of crime.
It is not clear whether Ubah has briefed his lawyer to file a new case against the DSS.
More Trouble for Patience Jonathan as Court Refuses Her Plea to Unfreeze Her $15.591m Accounts
Former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan's struggle to lift the restraint on her bank accounts, has hit another roadblock.
The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos has refused to grant Mrs. Patience Jonathan’s plea to unfreeze her accounts holding $15.591 million, SaharaReporters reports.
Justice Mohammed Idris had ordered parties to file pleas concerning ownership of the accounts. He, however, described the issues raised by the defendants as “baseless.”
“The issues formulated by all the defendants are baseless. They go to no issue and will be ignored by the court,” the judge said.
“I hold that this court lacks the competence to determine the issues raised by the defendants in their written addresses, having abandoned the specific issues formulated by the plaintiff in the originating summons.
“It is unfortunate. I say this because the issues raised by the defendants appear on the face of it good and deserving to be considered on their merit. But I as I understand it to be the law, sentiment has no basis in the adjudicatory system,” the judge stated.
Justice Idris said where processes are not properly prepared, any defect would render the proceeding fatal, as the court cannot “re-formulate” the issues for determination.
The judge further held that there is still contention over the ownership of the accounts.
“In respect of this issue, the contention appears divided, and there is clearly an air of friction in the proceedings,” the judge said.
According to him, all the counter-affidavits filed by the defendants contained disputed facts that cannot be decided without oral evidence.
“In the light of the above affidavit evidence, it cannot, in my view, be rightly contended that there are no disputed facts of substance as to the ownership of the said funds and the law.
“The issues of fact raised by the defendants herein are not spurious or irrelevant. The affidavit of the plaintiff is also not conjectural.
“In my view, the facts are contentious, and oral evidence needs to be led by the parties herein. In the light of the above facts, this case is generally not suitable for an originating summons procedure.
“In the circumstances, the court hereby orders that the parties herein file pleadings in accordance with the Federal High Court civil procedure rules 2009 and trial shall then proceed accordingly. This is the order of the court,” Justice Idris held.
The commission urged the court not to unfreeze the accounts because the funds they hold are suspected to be proceeds of a crime.
Mrs. Jonathan pleaded to the court in Lagos to order the EFCC to unfreeze the accounts to enable her access the money.
EFCC, Skye Bank Plc, Jonathan’s former aide Waripamo-Owei Dudafa, Pluto Property and Investment Company Ltd, Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Ltd, Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Ltd and Avalon Global Property Development Ltd are the respondents in the case.
The companies, through their representatives, had pleaded guilty to laundering the money on September 15, 2016 when they were arraigned before Justice Babs Kuewumi of the same court.
They were charged along with Dudafa, Briggs and a banker, Adedamola Bolodeoku, for laundering the money.
Unlike the companies, Dudafa, Briggs and Bolodeoku pleaded not guilty to the 17-count charge.
In a supporting affidavit to the suit, Mrs. Jonathan’s aide, Sammie Somiari, said Mr. Dudafa helped the former first lady open the accounts.
He said Mr. Dudafa, on March 22, 2010, brought two Skye Bank officers, Demola Bolodeoku and Dipo Oshodi, to meet Mrs. Jonathan.
The deponent claimed Mrs. Jonathan was the sole signatory to the accounts and that she had no relationship with the companies.

$1.3bn Malabu Scam: EFCC Agents Raid House of Ex-Attorney General's Brother in Search of Dollars
Security operatives believed to be men of the Economic and Financial Crimes commission have carried out a raid at the house of the brother of a former Attorney-General of the Federation.
The immediate past Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke (SAN), says operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission raided the home of his younger brother, Bashir, in Kogi State during the wee hours of Sunday.
According to reports, the raid was carried out as part of investigations into the $1.3bn oil deal involving Malabu Oil and Gas Limited and oil giant, Shell, which was brokered by Adoke in 2011 when he was the AGF.
Adoke said this in a statement by his spokesman, Victor Akhidenor. The former AGF, however, stated that nothing was found during the raid which he described as illegal.
The senior advocate said the operatives of the anti-graft agency assaulted some occupants of the house when they did not find any dollars in the building.
The statement read in part, “The men who arrived Mr. Bello’s house at about 12 midnight in a Hilux van were dressed in black uniform. They did not present any search warrant and when the security man sought to know their mission, they stated that they were in search of money particularly dollars that have been hidden by Mohammed Bello Adoke.
“When the security insisted that the house was not occupied and that no such monies were kept there; they not only brutalized him, but proceeded to hack down the door, tore the place apart and searched virtually every nook and cranny of the house, destroying the furniture, the ceiling, wardrobes, water tank, etc.
“At the end, they left the premises infuriated that they did not find the dollars they were informed was hidden in the house.”
Operatives of the EFCC had last month raided the Kano home of Adoke but were said not to have recovered any money. Adoke, who has been in the Netherlands since 2015, said members of his family were being harassed by the EFCC.
He added, “This will be the second time that security personnel would be invading Mr. Adoke’s home. Last month, officials of the EFCC invaded Mr. Adoke’s family home in Kano in search of documents ostensibly to use to prosecute him.
“There appears to be no end to the level harassment, intimidation, and persecution that Adoke and his family will face at the hands of law enforcement personnel determined to unearth incriminating evidence against him.
“Adoke is apprehensive about his personal safety as well as that of his immediate family and calls on law enforcement personnel to guarantee the safety of his family especially now that he has become a target and subject of harassment, intimidation, and persecution from powerful families and aggrieved individual bent on settling scores with him on account of his refusal to allow his office as a minister in the government of the federation to be used to serve their personal interests.”
All attempts to speak with the EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, on Sunday proved abortive as his phone indicated that it was switched off.

Apostle Suleman opens up on new allegations by Stephanie Otobo
Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has vowed not to allow allegations made against him by his alleged lover, Miss Stephanie Otobo, go unchallenged.
Apostle Suleman, who spoke to The Sun through his Media Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, dared Otobo to prove all her allegations in court.
He said: “It is not for her to probe the wisdom of the mother in going to beg for forgiveness. The mother has done what she felt was right and we have responded to the mother’s appeal for forgiveness.
“Can’t you see the contradiction in the claim of being poisoned by Apostle? First, she claimed that the poison was given to her by Apostle in a hotel. Next she said it was in a dream. Perhaps, she would come up with another bizarre tale. Seriously, even my three -year- old daughter can do better”.
On Otobo’s claims that if Apostle Suleman presents his international passport, it will reveal that both of them travelled together on a certain day to Canada, Shuaib responded: “How do you travel with someone you have never met? It is clearly an illusion and part of her romantic fantasy.
“But again, if she wants to prove her case before the media, are we the ones to help her do so? Can’t she go to the airline and get a manifest on how they travelled together? Tell the world her seat number and that of Apostle Suleman. Let her get those facts and give to the press.
“Besides, when a stalker is desperate, he/she can go to any length to get his/her victim’s attention. If you know the itinerary of your target, particularly a preacher whose international meetings are made public, a desperate stalker can go there in attempt to see the person. The truth is that, this is an unnecessary media trial and it is deceitful, mendaciously knavish and full of falsehood.”
On bank statement showing payments Apostle Suleman allegedly made into her (Stephanie’s) account, Suleman’s aide said “Anyone can type and print a statement and call it by any name. But it cannot be called a genuine bank statement, except such a statement has been so verified by a forensic expert under the direction of a court of competent jurisdiction to so do.
“More so, what we had expected was evidence to buttress her initial claims of tons of dollars, Euros and the Pound Sterling being paid into her account, not the lodgment in a Naira account. Certainly, this is an afterthought, but it is not strange as Apostle Suleman engages in a lot of charity. On a daily basis, men and women come for help and he assists them.
“Was Apostle Johnson Suleman sleeping with Nollywood Actor, Leo Mezie, when he paid his entire medical bill of £30,000 for kidney transplant in UK? This is what they don’t tell you. Was Apostle Suleman sleeping with the nine poor Nigerians (male and female) he gave cars to on February 5th, 2016?
“Was he sleeping with the 30 widows and other indigent people that he gave out millions to start their own businesses? To Johnson Suleman, giving is a lifestyle. The fact is that, we have never denied extending help to this girl.”
Asked if the matter has eroded the confidence of the public and members of the church have in Apostle Suleman, Shuaib maintained that the church has reached a decision on this matter.
“And I don’t think there is any need expanding any debate on this. Her mother has come to beg for forgiveness and we have reached a decision on that. The church also knows that this is a lady that deliberately wants to distract Apostle Suleman from his good works and there is no point giving her attention.
“Till date, she has not brought out any credible evidence that she has been able to hold on to. Everything she has said in the past, she contradicted in her subsequent videos. It’s so unfortunate that she has wasted everybody’s time”.

Drama in Aso Rock as Buhari suspends, probes SGF, NIA DG

• APC, NASS, Ozekhome laud govt’s action
• Exercise, an afterthought, says Fayose
• Wike welcomes probe of $43m in Lagos home
• Exercise, an afterthought, says Fayose
• Wike welcomes probe of $43m in Lagos home
There was a mild drama at the Presidential Villa, Abuja yesterday following the announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari suspending the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), David Babachir Lawal and the Director General (DG) of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ambassador Ayo Oke.
A statement by the presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, said both officials remained suspended until they were fully investigated. Lawal is being probed over allegations of an award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE). Oke, on the other hand, is facing scrutiny for his agency’s role in the $43 million and other local currencies found in an Ikoyi, Lagos apartment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
By the suspension of these officials, the government seems to have affirmed its commitment to its anti-corruption agenda. But how the matter is finally resolved will determine the strength of the resolve of the government to beam the anti-corruption searchlight on its officials.
Shortly after the announcement, State House correspondents sighted the axed officials being driven into the Villa. However, it could not be established whether Lawal had prior knowledge of the presidential directive as at the time of his suspension, but he was seen by newsmen after a closed-door meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
When reporters sought his reaction after the meeting, the suspended SGF queried the source of the report. The following conversation ensued:
Newsmen: Your suspension has just been announced. How will you react to the development?
Babachir: Who announced it?
Newsmen: The Presidency
Babachir: Then ask them. Why are you asking me? Who is the Presidency?
Newsmen: Have you been informed of the suspension?
Babachir: By who? About what. What about you? Have you been informed?
Newsmen: Yes sir.
Babachir: By who?
Newsmen: By the Presidency sir.
Babachir: I have not seen it. I should have been given... I have not seen the press release so I cannot comment on it.
Newsmen: It is currently trending online. Are you doubting the authenticity of the statement?
Babachir: I have not seen it.
Newsmen: Tell us the outcome of your meeting with the Vice President sir.
Babachir: I am always here. I always meet the Vice President. I used to come here even before I was made SGF.
Newsmen: Your suspension has just been announced. How will you react to the development?
Babachir: Who announced it?
Newsmen: The Presidency
Babachir: Then ask them. Why are you asking me? Who is the Presidency?
Newsmen: Have you been informed of the suspension?
Babachir: By who? About what. What about you? Have you been informed?
Newsmen: Yes sir.
Babachir: By who?
Newsmen: By the Presidency sir.
Babachir: I have not seen it. I should have been given... I have not seen the press release so I cannot comment on it.
Newsmen: It is currently trending online. Are you doubting the authenticity of the statement?
Babachir: I have not seen it.
Newsmen: Tell us the outcome of your meeting with the Vice President sir.
Babachir: I am always here. I always meet the Vice President. I used to come here even before I was made SGF.
Apparently looking bemused, he thereafter walked away and was chauffeur-driven out of the Presidential Villa. In the same vein, Oke, who arrived at the seat of power shortly after Babachir left to seek audience with the Vice President, could not gain access as he was barred by the security agents at the entrance to the Vice President’s wing of the Presidential Villa.
Oke, who later made another attempt at the security gate accessing the forecourt linking the entrance to President Buhari’s office, was again denied access, as the remote controlled gate remained firmly shut.
Hitherto, the NIA boss enjoyed the privilege of gaining access to the President through the gate along with the service chiefs, National Security Adviser (NSA), Inspector General of Police (IGP), DG State Security Service (SSS), Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Head of Civil Service of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister. The suspended NIA boss was forced after being denied access to drive out of the presidential villa looking dejected. He was, however, sighted about 45 minutes later being led to Prof. Osinbajo’s office by the Vice President’s Chief Security Officer.
Consequently, a three-man committee, headed by the Vice President with the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice as well as the National Security Adviser as members, has been raised to investigate the allegations. It has two weeks to submit its report.
By the new development, the most senior permanent secretary and officer in the SGF and NIA offices are to act as heads while the investigation lasts. Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has backed the President over the decision.
Its spokesman, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi in an interview with The Guardian, said there was nothing abnormal with the measure. His words: “The action by the president is part of the normal procedural thing to do. If someone is being investigated, it is normal that that individual is required to step aside to allow the investigation to be concluded. It also demonstrates the resolve by the president to entrench transparency and accountability. This is my interpretation of what happened.”
Besides, the National Assembly and famous constitutional lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, lauded the exercise. The Senate communicated its satisfaction in a statement yesterday by the chairman of its ad hoc committee on the humanitarian crisis in the North East, Shehu Sani.
“It is commendable that the president has taken the Senate committee report and recommendations seriously. The sword of truth is not just cast and sharpened for the neck of foes but also for those of friends,” he added.
In their commendation messages, Representatives Aliyu Magaji Dau (APC Jigawa) and Johnson Agnayinman (APC Edo) noted that the action sent a signal that nobody was above the law.
They, however, called for restraint so that fair hearing for the affected officials would not be compromised. Describing the axing as “good riddance to bad rubbish”, Ozekhome held that the measure was indicative that President Buhari was beginning to listen to the voice of reason on the need to entrench good governance in the polity.
“The suspension of the N250 million grass-cutting SGF and the N15 billion Osborne Road warehousing NIA DG, NIA is good riddance to bad rubbish. I am sure the government is beginning to listen to my critical but patriotic voice. We cannot continue to be a laughing stock in the international arena,” he stated.
But Governor Ayodele Fayose considered the exercise as an afterthought. In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor queried: “Would the president have set up a probe panel if these scams were linked to anyone in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or those members of his party that are not in his good books?”
He added: “Most importantly, what business does a presidential committee have with an investigation into crime? Are they telling Nigerians that they have lost confidence in all the intelligence and investigative agencies of the government, including the EFCC and DSS?”

Certificate scandal: ABU VC, Prof. Ibrahim Garba confirms Dino Melaye graduated from university
The Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, Zaria, Professor Ibrahim Garba has confirmed that Nigerian Senator, Dino Melaye who bears Daniel Jonah Melaye as that time actually graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria with third class in Geography in the year, 2000.
The VC made the confirmation following his appearance before the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges at Monday’s hearing on the allegation.
Meanwhile, during the hearing, the Chairman Senator Samuel Anyanwu, having put Dino Melaye on oath, explained that there was a complaint against him by a colleague, Senator Ali Ndume that he was parading a questionable degree certificate from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
While responding, Dino having tendered series of documents to support that he was a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University explained that he has also sworn affidavit as to conflicts in his names.
“Distinguished Senators, I have sworn affidavit to my name which reads, Daniel Jonah Melaye to Dino Melaye, because Jonah is actually my father’s name.”
He added: “because I have become popular with Dino over times, I have decided to bear Dino Melaye and you could see that my admission to study Masters degree bears Dino Melaye.”
Meanwhile, Senator Matthew Urhoghide noted that they could see statement of results with an affidavit and not the purported original degree from ABU.
In response, Dino said, he was yet to collect his original certificate, adding that collection of certificates is usually at any body’s convenience.
He revealed that he was ready to collect the original certificate within the week.
