Lagos Court Reportedly Orders Stephanie Otobo to Pay Apostle Suleman 100 Million Naira in Defamation Damages
According to reports circulating online, a Lagos High Court has ruled in favor of Apostle Johnson Suleman in his long-running defamation case against Stephanie Otobo, ordering her to pay 100 million naira in damages.
The case dates back to 2017, when Stephanie Otobo publicly accused the founder of Omega Fire Ministries of having an inappropriate relationship with her, which Apostle Suleman repeatedly denied and described as defamatory. He subsequently filed a 1 billion naira libel suit against her at the Ikeja High Court. The latest reported judgment now is that the court has allegedly awarded 100 million dollars to the Apostle as compensation for reputational damage.
The development has sparked strong reactions online, with supporters of Apostle Suleman calling it a vindication, while others are waiting for more official details about the ruling and whether there will be an appeal.
Nearly a decade after the controversy first exploded into public view, the reported court ruling may mark a major turning point in one of Nigeria’s most talked-about church scandals.
