…Accuses Mike Davids Of Doctoring Audio Clip
…Says Audio Was A Conversation With A Lady Three Years Ago
By Emeka Okafor
The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has owned up to making threat statements in a viral audio released by his former pastor, Mike Davids, who accused him of allegedly committing adultery with his estranged wife.
Suleman was heard threatening to make the person he was having conversation with in the 42 seconds audio to “disappear”.
The embattled cleric, while owning up to the viral audio, said he had the audio conversation with a lady he refused to reveal her name three years ago.
He, however, said the conversation was not with his estranged former pastor, Davids, whom he accused of doctoring the audio.
NIGER DELTA TODAY (NDT) Online reports that Davids, a dismissed pastor in Apostle Suleman’s church, has alleged that the Omega Fire Ministries’ founder, had threatened to “make him disappear” in a phone conversation he recorded.

Before the release of the audio clip, Davids had made a viral video where he accused Suleman of sleeping with his wife, Pastor Faith Edeko, in the presence of their young daughter.
Apostle Suleman and Davids’ estranged wife, Edeko, have since debunked the allegation.
In the audio clip, the cleric was heard saying, “I avoided you because of the way you talk but it is clear to me that you are possessed with a demon. The same thing that made me avoid you, you keep repeating them. You will die prematurely. God will punish you. Whatever you are looking for in this life, you will not get it.
“I stepped aside to make this call. You will die an untimely death. From the day I noticed you don’t know how to talk, I stopped talking to you. It is like you didn’t notice. I was free, I was chatting from the day I noticed your mind; you don’t know how to talk (sic).
“When I noticed it because I am very temperamental; my temper is not good. That is why I am telling you tonight. I will make you disappear.”
But reacting to the viral audio on Saturday, Suleman said although he made the comments in the audio, the audio was doctored by his accuser.

In the 2.27 minutes length video posted by Nigerian pastor and broadcaster, Daddy Freeze, Suleman apologised to Nigerians for his outburst in the audio, saying he has since “changed” after the incident.
Suleman, who appeared in the video with his wife, Dr. Lizzy Johnson-Suleman, said, “There’s a viral audio that is going on now of me threatening somebody over the phone. Telling the person to stay off my phone or the person will die prematurely.
That voice was me. It happened three years ago. I reacted out of anger and I am sorry about it. After 2017, my mentality to life changed and I became very unreceptive. That’s me on the phone threatening a young lady to stay off my phone and stop talking to me on the phone.
It was a mistake I made out of anger three years ago. I have apologised to my wife for allowing anger to get hold of me. but I am so disappointed at Mike Davids that he has released an audio where he has doctored with his own voice and present to the lawyer that I was threatening him after he did a video about his wife (Edeko). Why will I call you to threaten you when the video made no sense?
“I want to advice you (Davids), you can still repent right now. I sent you out of Omega Fire Ministries not because of your human weakness because everybody has a weakness. I am not a perfect man. I am a human. I make mistakes. I’m not perfect.
“But I sent you out of Omega Fire Ministries because of how evil your heart is. You (Davids) spend all your time plotting against people, planning against pastors, thinking of about how to bring pastors down and that’s why I sent you out of the ministry.

“You divorced your marriage with your wife and she was suffering, we decided to help her. You said no, she must eat from the gutters. She must suffer. As a father raised her up, should I let her suffer? My wife spoke to me on the need to support her and the children. You said you want your wife back…you live in Abuja with your wife, you have never called your wife.
“You were once my son. My worry over you is how black your heart is. Please, change! There’s still a space for you in the kingdom. I’m not a perfect man. I reacted out of anger and I apologise to everybody. But the audio that Mike Davids is parading as his audio…I have not spoken to Mike Davids for two years.
“All the people I have disciplined and rebuked, he (Mike Davids) is conniving with them to set up a blackmail. He said he has blackmail of chats. Blackmail of text messages. Blackmail of WhatsApp. And I told him release whatever you have. They mean nothing to me…I apologise to my family; I apologise to Omega Fire Ministries for letting anger took hold of me.”
Recall that Davids has also sued Apostle Suleman for N2bn, accusing the cleric of interfering in his marriage.
In his response, however, Apostle Suleman’s legal team stated on Friday that the cleric had filed a N5bn libel suit against Davids.
