Apostle Johnson Suleman, The General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, has been accused of not visiting the relatives of his police escorts who were killed on Friday in Edo State.
It was earlier reported that some gunmen on Friday attacked the convoy of Suleman, killing seven persons including three police escorts.
The incident occurred on Warake Road, close to Auchi, Edo State.
According to the sister of one of the policemen in an audio interview obtained by SaharaReporters on Sunday, Suleman has not paid a condolence visit to the family two days after the attack.
“Even my aunty, our firstborn; they went there (to see him). They didn’t even allow them to enter. He didn’t even come out to see them. He didn’t come out to see them.

“He (her brother) only has one son and his wife is a policewoman. They are in Edo state,” the source said.
“My elder sister and my brother, they went there (to see him). We are 12; my father has 12 children. We lost one in the process of protecting Suleman. He did not even come out. My sister and my brother that went, they had to come back home because he didn’t come out to see them,” she added in the audio.
In a video released after the incident, the cleric confirmed the attack and said he knows the attackers.
He said, “There are things happening that I have been quiet about. Even if you are the most careless person on earth, you will not give yourself to so many scandals.
“There are things happening that people don’t know, even though one or two persons take advantage of it along the line. The reason I’m coming out to speak now is that they have done all that and discovered that I’m still moving on.
“They decided to make an attempt on my life. I just escaped an assassination attempt where seven people were killed. My car was attacked.
“The people who did this are expecting me to come out and mention their names but I won’t do that. You can’t kill me, my life is in the hand of God.”
Efforts to reach Phrank Shaibu, Suleman’s media aide, were not successful as his mobile line suggested it was switched shortly after ringing.
