The founder of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Johnson Suleman, has disclosed that the attack on his convoy in 2022, was masterminded by one of his security team.
The attack claimed the lives of seven people, including three police officers.
Mr Suleman stated this while preaching in London over the weekend, claiming that a police officer on his security team sold out to the criminals who carried out the fatal attack.
“The reason that death took place was because among the officers, there was an insider that sold us out, and he was the first to be shot,” Mr Suleiman told his cheering congregation. “He was the first to be wasted.”
The 2022 attack sent shockwaves through the religious community, with many fearing whether the attack could have been politically motivated or linked to the preacher’s contentious lifestyle.
The police announced in July that it arrested a suspect in connection with the attack.
People Gazette reported that Police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi did not respond to a request for comments on the clergy’s allegation.
