General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, has confirmed that seven persons were shot dead.
The Apostle said, his wife and children were said to be travelling along the Benin-Auchi road when unknown gunmen opened fire on his entourage.
He also has disclosed that he was with his wife and children in his Sports Utility Vehicle when the attack occurred.
While expressing regrets on the death of the three policemen and four civilians, the televangelist, in a one-minute fifty seconds video of him narrating his close shave with death, boldly declared that nobody could kill him because his life was in God’s hand.
He traced the genesis of the attack to 2017 and advised the gunmen that attacked his convoy not to dabble into what they did not understand.
According to him, ” since 2017, there are certain things that have been happening that I have been quiet about .
“Even if you are the most quiet person on earth you will not give yourself to so many scandals
calling. I am well, family is fine.
“I feel bad for the lives that have been taken. We are mourning but Jesus is Lord.
“May the souls of those who were killed rest in peace.
And for the young men who opened fire and kept wasting people, I won’t take your life. But the seed that you have sown, you will reap it.
“I want Nigerians to know that a coordinated lie swallows an uncoordinated truth . With time the truth will come out”.
