Apostle Suleiman's saga and the unseen hand
By Muyiwa Olayinka
I still do not understand Apostle Suleiman’s predicament.
Let’s check the sequence of event
Part 1
Scene 1. Apostle Suleimain while preaching to his congregation in Ekiti, in a crusade, said if they (militant herdsmen) attack you, attack them back
Scene 2. DSS (Directorate of the state service) attempted to arrest him in his hotel after the crusade
Scene 3 Gov Fayose (his host) shielded and protected him from the harassment of the DSS
Scene 4 Publicly DSS invited him
Scene 5 He honoured the invitation.
We thought case is closed
Part 2
Scene 1 A strange lady zoomed from nowhere accusing him of impregnating him
Scene 2 The lady attempted to black mail him
Scene 3 Apostle Suleiman invited the police, pronto she was arrested
Scene 4 The Omega ministry issued an official statement debunking the lady’s claim
Gege………
Here comes the main actor and the supporting actor…
Controversial lawyer Festus Keyamo (who had similar case of fathering a child out of wedlock), also a known supporter of this government came to the picture. His chamber became the counsel to the lady
Omoyele Sowore, owner of Sahara reporter as the supporting actor ( Have you forgotten that he has a blackmail case against his bosom friend), used to be a supporter of President Buhari but now disgruntled.
What a perfect combination to nail Apostle Suleiman.
Remember Farooq Kperogi said Government spent N250,000 ($500) on bloggers monthly to fight the cause of this government.
Yours truly is not among.
While the lady Stephanie Otobo is being arraigned in court a snapchat picture of the lady and the Apostle has been released to the social media.
The picture shows the Apostle smiling sheepishly at the half nude picture of Stephanie Otobo
To cap it all, when you have people like Keyamo and Sowore of Sahara Reporters, and the desperate ashawo (prostitute) in question, fighting you, your case is good as been done, in the court of public opinion.
To set the record straight, I’m not holding brief for him or saying that the Apostle is a saint, but the build up to this saga is questionable and it shows that an unseen hand is teleguiding this flick.
We are watching the drama as it unfolds.
Please sit back and watch out for part 3
I will keep you posted!
