Nigerian actress, Halima Abubakar, has issued a public apology to Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries for defaming him.

Abubakar admitted to spreading falsehood against Suleman and causing him pain via social media.

The drama between Halima Abubakar and Apostle Suleman started in 2022 when the actress became bedridden following her altercation with the clergyman.

While sick, the actress’s family took to social media to call out the clergyman to stay away from her.

But, many alleged that the actress was battling an autoimmune disease which she debunked by sharing her medical report.

However, Halima Abubakar sought the apology of Apostle Suleman in a letter sent to the clergyman.

She also expressed deep regrets for tarnishing his image, hoping her letter could repair the damage to an extent.

The letter reads: “I admit that I made false allegations against you and also regret my action and the damage I caused to you, your wife, Dr Lizzy Suleman, your family and the leaders of the Omega Fire Ministry.

“With this letter, I humbly ask for forgiveness, recognising that my apology cannot undo the harm, pain and distress I caused and I ask you to find a place in your heart to forgive me as I was not thinking right then.

“I’m truly sorry for all the hurts and distress I caused you, your family and ministry.”
