As regarding the speculations regarding the rumoured relationship between its general overseer and one miss stephanie Otobo, the Omega Fire Ministries, yesterday, denied that the General Overseer of the church, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, had a hand in the arrest and detention of Miss Stephanie Otobo by the police last Friday. Apostle Suleiman in a statement signed, by his Communications Manager, Phrank Shaibu, in Abuja, also denied that there was a so-called “amorous relationship” between the said Miss Otobo and the General Overseer, including a promise to marry her. Apostle Suleiman Instead, the church stated that the lady was arrested by operatives acting on a tip off that she had repeatedly tried to blackmail the preacher, including demanding N500 million from him.
After failing to get the said amount  she threatened to expose a purported amorous relationship between her and the  pastor. The statement of Omega Fire Ministries was in reaction to two letters by a Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo, demanding the  N500 million on behalf of  of Miss Stephanie Otobo and also accusing Apostle Suleiman of procuring policemen to intimidate and detain his client unlawfully, but Phrank Shaibu said the lawyer was misled into believing that there was an amorous relationship between Apostle Suleiman and the said Miss Otobo, pointing out that the lady was caught up by her machinations as she was arrested while trying to withdraw money paid into her account by the church in a sting operation coordinated by the police. The statement further debunked Keyamo’s claim that the senior pastor had actually made the initial move towards marriage by seeing her parents, wondering how such a transaction could have taken place without any iota of evidence. But reacting last night, Keyamo told Vanguard on phone that there was no such thing as blackmail, adding that there was enough evidence to support the lady’s claims. 
Meanwhile, contrary to claims by Miss Stephanie Otobo that Apostle Suleiman to her family house for her marriage introduction, her father, Rev. Benson Otobo, has claimed that such never happened.
 Otobo told journalists in Abuja, yesterday, that Apostle Suleiman had neither been to his compound nor known his residence, wondering why his daughter was attempting to drag the name of the revered man of God in the mud. Asked whether Apostle Suleiman had never been to his house for any marriage introduction with his daughter, Rev. Otobo responded: “Not at all. Apostle Suleiman does not even know where I live.” He, also informed newsmen that he had since called Apostle Suleiman to distance himself from his daughter’s misconduct. 
Rev. Otobo, who disclosed that his daughter was equally at loggerheads with him at the moment for scolding her two months ago over nude pictures he saw on her whatsapp platform, said he was not surprised at her daughter’s current character, given that she grew up with her mother in Sapele, Delta State, after he divorced her. He disclosed that he put an end to his marriage to his daughter’s mother due to unfaithfulness of the woman.
