The general overseer of Omega fire ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has confirmed the attack on his life by unknown gunmen this afternoon.
In a video which he shared shortly after the unfortunate incident, Apostle Suleman noted that the unknown gunmen waited just for him and shot at him directly.
Suleman’s lawyer, Samuel Amune, who confirmed the attack to our correspondent, said the cleric just returned from a program in Tanzania, adding that he escaped death by a whisker.

“He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen attacked him along Sabingida down to Warake area, and Auchi shares direct boundary with Warake. So, he had passed Warake and was entering the boundaries of Auchi when the attack happened.”
A security expert, Dickson Osajie, who condemned the lack of security in the state, said the attack happened in broad daylight.
He said, “They attacked him (Suleman); seven people including a policeman were killed. The country is not safe; our can people move around with guns at the express and they are not detected. It is a disturbing situation.”
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Chuidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the attack.
He said six persons including policemen and Suleman’s drivers were killed, adding that efforts were on to locate the whereabouts of a domestic staff.
He also noted that one of the assailants was gunned down during the attack.
