Their Marriage Has Suffered Numerous Controversies and Cheating Scandals

From sex scandals to money miracle scams, there have been tons of controversies in Dr. Lizzy’s husband’s life. Most of his controversies are related to sexual affairs with numerous women, including church members and top female Nigerian celebrities. Many of these allegations have not been proven to be true.

Whatever the case, Apostle Suleman’s wife has stayed in her marriage for 19 years, and according to her, some of the rumors only come up to test their faith. Here are some of the women and controversies Apostle Johnson has been involved in.

1. Her Husband Allegedly Poisoned Stephanie Otobo After an Affair

Canadian-Nigerian singer Stephanie Otobo, famous as Stephanie D’ocean, alleged in 2017 that she had an extramarital affair with Apostle Suleman. She claimed to have met him in 2015 when she attended a wedding in Nigeria and reached out to him for counseling. She contended that she started a relationship with him after he told her that his marriage had broken, but he couldn’t make it public.

In an interview, she claimed that she received cash from him that may have been given to her for fetish reasons. The relationship was said to have ended after the OFM’s General Overseer asked for some sexual escapades, such as a threesome with the singer.

After the news made different pages, Stephanie came out to state that she was paid by some powerful and strong politicians and pastors to defame him.

While the story may have died down, Stephanie came out again in 2022 to make claims that the initial story about their alleged relationship was true. However, she was intimidated and lured by the pastor to state that she had lied against him. She further released a diss track titled Apostle, which she dedicated to him.

To prove the said relationship, she released some images claiming to be the genitals of Dr. Lizzy’s spouse. She went again to attest that he had used the police to shut her up, tried to end her career, poisoned her, and even bribed some of her family members to take her life.

Well, Apostle Suleman rose to defend himself by denying the allegations. He accused her of blackmail, trying to steal from him, and even becoming a threat to his life. He also claimed that the story was brought out by his enemies.

2. Apostle Suleman vs. Queen Esther

Queen Esther claimed to have been a member of Apostle Suleman’s Church. She stated that she was an usher in the church before they started dating in 2013. Nonetheless, she broke up with him after 2 years in 2015. She contended that the pastor threatened her life since she broke his heart with the breakup.

Shortly after, she started experiencing strange movements in her womb and sharp pain in her breast. She went seeking a solution and was told that the condition was spiritual. Her family helped to get her help before she was healed.

As in the case of Stephanie Otobo and the other alleged sexual relationships of Suleman, he denied Queen Esther’s claims. His wife, Lizzy Johnson Suleman, also supported that her husband was innocent. However, Queen Esther pointed out that Lizzy was aware that she (Esther) and the Apostle were having a sexual relationship.

3. Her Husband was Said to Have Slept with a Female Pastor

Another height of the controversy in Lizzy’s marriage is the accusation that her husband had a sexual relationship with a female pastor named Faith.

As the story goes, Faith’s spouse, Pastor Mike David, was a pastor at OFM for 15 years. However, in 2018, he was suspended for “ungodly behaviors.” Well, David had a different tale to tell when he claimed that he was suspended because Apostle Suleman was having an affair with his (David’s) wife.

He further claimed that Apostle Suleman started sleeping with Faith when the couple’s child was barely a year old. Also, he argued that Lizzy’s spouse hypnotized Faith so he could sleep with her.

Although David’s wife was said to have told her husband about the relationship, she still returned to the Apostle’s arms while her husband was transferred to Ogun State. David claimed that Suleman also intimidated and denied him from seeing his children while he made Faith the head of an OFM branch without notifying her husband.

Since he couldn’t take it anymore, he reached out to the public through social media. Faith also used social media to report that the story was untrue, and even David walked out on their marriage and children.

Suleman also denied the allegation and sued Mike David for blackmail and defamation of character, among other charges. In turn, David also sued him for how he broke the former’s marriage, among other charges.

4. He Allegedly Dated Some Top Nollywood Celebrities

From Halima Abubakar to Chioma Ifemeludike, Steph Naya, Shan George, and Ruth Kadiri, Suleman reportedly had sexual relationships with top female celebrities.

Other actresses allegedly having relationships with the man of God are Mercy Johnson, Georgina Onuoha, Omo Brish, Vivian Metchie, Ini Edo, Angela Okorie, Chinyere Wilfred, Queen Nwokoye, and Mary Uranta, among others, as reported by Nigerian website Gistlovers.

Many of these women have denied having any sexual relationships with the pastor. However, Steph Naya has openly spoken about her relationship with the preacher. She also claimed she had a threesome with him and actress Iyabo Ojo.

Another claim was raised by actress Halima Abubakar. She reported that the pastor deceived her by saying that his marriage had failed and that he would marry her. However, that never happened.

It was further revealed on her Instagram page how a sexual encounter with him had left her bedridden as she suffered a strange ailment that caused her abdomen to grow as big as that of a pregnant woman. She also acknowledged that the preacher had similar relationships with Iyabo Ojo and Shan George.

Again, Lizzy’s spouse denied this allegation and sued her for defamation of character. When the news rallied in 2022, Dr. Lizzy Johnson Suleman tagged the entire scandal as a test of faith.

Also, actress Chioma Ifemeludike claimed to have slept with Suleman twice. Again, this claim was refuted.
