Sex Scandal: I was pregnant thrice for Apostle Suleman, Halima Abubakar claims
Actress, Halima Abubakar, has alleged that she was pregnant on three occasions for the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
Recall that in September 2022, Halima had called out Suleman on social media while claiming the pair once dated.
But Suleman threatened to sue her for “defamatory statements”.
The matter appeared to have died down afterward as reports of Halima’s battle with an undisclosed illness surfaced.
In a recent interview, however, the film star claimed the pair dated for “six years.”
The actress also said when rumours of their alleged affair first started making the rounds, she sought the cleric’s advice on what to say but “he told me to go and die.”

In a now-viral clip of the interview, Halima was asked if she was ever pregnant for Suleman.
“Yes, I was once pregnant for him,” she said.
When further asked why she did not keep the pregnancy, she said, “When I lost the baby, he was crying, you would think it’s real because he was shedding tears that I lost his child.
“It’s crazy. I got pregnant three times for him. The last one got me bleeding…I had to take tablets to stop it…”
On how long it took the bleeding to stop, she replied “for four years, I actually just came out since I have been in a long spiritual battle…the blood just stopped rushing, you won’t believe it.”
Halima Abubakar bled blo0d for 5 years:

In another clip from the interview, Halima alleged that the cleric slept with her while she was bleeding.
“He was sleeping with me even while I was bleeding. That’s the dangerous part of it, and he was telling me he couldn’t sleep with any other person, that’s why.
“The whole thing took me unaware because I was naive and not a spiritual person. Even when I’m on my period, he does that (sleeps with me),” she said.
Halima said she is ready to go to court to prove that the pair had an affair.

“The operation was targeted at curbing kidnapping activities in Lau LGA. During initial investigations, Suleiman Ahmed confessed to abducting 20 people and collecting over N70 million in ransom,” Captain Oni said.

Obasanjo’s comment on Tinubu mischievous, says Afenifere chief
Obasanjo’s comment on Tinubu mischievous, says Afenifere chief
The National Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Mr Kole Omololu, has said President Bola Tinubu’s short stay in office has shown signs of outperforming former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s record.
The chieftain of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation said in a statement yesterday that the emerging gains of the president’s economic reforms gave hope that the nation was on a trajectory of recovery, growth, and development.
Omololu, in reaction to Obasanjo’s claim on Saturday that Nigeria had become a failing state under President Tinubu, said the former president’s assertion was incorrect given the increasing gains being made under the president.
Delivering a keynote address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum, Yale University, New Haven, at the weekend in Connecticut, USA, the former president, in his recorded lecture titled, ‘Leadership Failure and State Capture in Nigeria, said the country’s pervasive corruption, mediocrity, immorality, misconduct, mismanagement, perversion, injustice, incompetence, and all other forms of iniquity confirmed Nigeria’s failing state status under the president.

However, Omololu said Obasanjo’s conclusions were inaccurate and mischief from the former president’s habitual attention-seeking.
“This is typical Obasanjo grandstanding. As the late President Shehu Shagari wrote about him in his autobiography, ‘Beckoned To Serve,’ Obasanjo is an egotistical narcissist who cannot stand not being the centre of attention and the cynosure of all eyes. He will engage in serial acts of incitement to attract the spotlight to himself,” he stated.
Saying Obasanjo had persistently criticised his successors unduly, Omololu contended that Tinubu’s managerial, moral and anti-corruption records were shoulder above the former president’s.
The Afenifere chieftain said the president’s economic reforms, including the withdrawal of petrol subsidies and the unification of forex rates, were bold measures the former president did not have the courage to take while in office.
He said these measures had shored up the nation’s revenue and helped it to reduce its debt service ratio from 97% to 65% of income within 17 months.
He added that Nigeria, under Tinubu, had achieved a new record in its trade balance, with an unprecedented N14.07 trillion trade surplus by half-year 2024, pointing out that the administration’s non-oil revenue in one quarter was more than the total generated during Obasanjo’s eight years in office.

Omololu queried, “How can President Obasanjo talk of mismanagement when, on Thursday, March 28, 2024, the Nigerian Stock Exchange crossed 104,562.06 All Shares Index, a 39.84% increase year-to-date, making it the second-best performing exchange in Africa?”
The Afenifere chieftain also disputed the former president’s assessment of the president’s anti-corruption record, stating that the top global transparency rating agency, Transparency International, reported a more positive evaluation.
“Transparency International says Nigeria is less corrupt today than during the Obasanjo administration,” he said, adding, “Nigeria improved on TI’s Corruption Perception Rating this year, moving five places from 150 in 2023 to 145 in 2024. In contrast, under Obasanjo, Nigeria was rated the second-most corrupt nation in the world, with only Bangladesh ahead of us in 2002. Out of 102 nations, Nigeria was number 101.”
Omololu pointed out that Obasanjo and his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, publicly exposed themselves via a nasty public exchange exposing their dirty dealings.
Omololu said Obasanjo, who could not manage his deputy, Atiku, lacked the moral authority to accuse Tinubu of immorality and mismanagement.

Gunmen have abducted officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Delta State, sparking concerns over rising insecurity in the are.
Reports indicate that the armed assailants ambushed the officers and their orderly near the agency’s state headquarters at around 8:00 pm as they were returning home from work.
The attackers, believed to have monitored the victims’ routine, intercepted them along the Isah-Ogwashi-Uku Road in Aniocha South Local Government Area.

Sources familiar with the incident suggested that the kidnappers may have received insider information to carry out the attack.
Efforts to obtain a comment from the NDLEA State Command’s spokesperson, Mr. John Kennedy, were unsuccessful, as he declined to speak on the matter.
This incident follows a troubling trend in Ogwashi-Uku, where five people have reportedly been kidnapped in the past 10 days. The recent wave of abductions has left residents in fear, with criminals allegedly adopting new strategies to elude law enforcement.
