Troubled singer, Stephanie Otobo, has appeared in a video saying Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) was pressuring her to make false confession about the alleged adulterous affair between the two of them.
Released on Monday, the video comes two days after Otobo attended a service at OFM where she claimed that politicians and pastors paid her to blackmail the controversial clergyman.
But in a video pre-recorded in 2017 and released by Canada-based Worship Media, the young woman accuses Suleman of pressuring her to lie that the Nigerian government was behind her allegations against him.
She accuses Suleman of reaching out to her lawyers and threatening her mother over her allegations.
“As a man of God that’s supposed to be showing good example, he is telling me to come and make a video to lie that it is the government of Nigeria that’s putting me up to this.
“This is what Suleman is asking me to do. To apologise to him, make a video that I was lying and I was put up to this,” she adds.
Suleman had earlier denied speculation that he paid Otobo to make the confession in his church.
“Only a fool will pay a blackmailer,” he tweeted on Sunday.

Otobo has not been seen in public since she appeared at OFM in Auchi, Edo State.
The woman Suleman once called a “stripper” had in 2017 accused him of sleeping with her, illegal procurement of abortion, threat to life, attempted murder and false promise of marriage.
