Apostle Suleman Scandal: Stephanie Otobo Files $5 Million Lawsuit in Canadian Court

Just when we thought the romance scandal between Benin-based preacher, Apostle Johnson Suleiman and Canada-based Nigerian singer, Stephanie Otobo was dying down, we’ve gotten another shocker.

Otobo, 23, who is at the center of the scandal with the controversial cleric, has further dragged him to a court in Ontario, Canada, filing a $5Million lawsuit.

According to Sahara Reporters, the lawsuit letter dated April 19, 2017, with case file number CV-17-573595, was signed by registrar of the Ontario Superior Court.  Addressed to Apostle Suleman’s Ontario residence, the petition states that the  $5 million lawsuit is for damages resulting from breach of trust, breach of fiduciary relations, breach of contract, negligence, defamation, poisoning, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional stress, forcible confinement, multiple instances of battery, false imprisonment, fraud, assaults, sexual assaults, sexual harassments, harassments and malicious prosecution.

In addition, the suit seeks an order restraining Suleman, father of four, from contac and communication, directly or indirectly, with Otobo while in Canada, and restraining him from being at a distance of at least 500 meters from the plaintiff.

It also revealed Otobo’s status at the time as a refugee in Suleman’s care, after which Otobo had been invited by Suleman to Italy and other European countries in continuation of the grooming, whereupon an amorous relationship had developed between both parties, resulting from psychological programming sessions during the grooming periods.

Furthermore, it revealed that Suleman had invited Otobo to his church in Nigeria in the summer of 2015, whereupon they had a sexual relationship that resulted in pregnancy by August 2015.

According to Canadian laws, Suleman has within 40 days to serve and file his statement of defense. In the event of his failure to appear before the Ontario Superior Court, however, judgment may still be given against him without further notice given to him.
