Apostle Suleman Speaks After Gunmen Attack

Apostle Johnson Suleman has alleged an assassination attack directed at him after seven persons including three policemen and a lady were killed when gunmen attacked his convoy on Friday evening.

GWG.NG reports that Apostle Suleman was returning from an evangelical mission to Tanzania and was on his way back to his headquarters in Auchi, Edo State when the gunmen attacked.

There is no evidence that it was either a kidnap or a robbery attack as the gunmen were reported to have been insistent on shooting.

Several videos of the victims of the attack including the policemen and the lady in the convoy were seen lying down.

In one of the videos seen by GWG.NG, Apostle Suleman inferred that it was an assassination attack.

He said: “Direct shooting. Direct shooting. They just waited for me.”

He, however, did not give any elaboration on the identity of the gunmen or their sponsors and it is not known how he escaped unscathed from the attack.

A lawyer to Apostle Suleman, Samuel Amune, confirmed the development to The PUNCH saying:

“He was returning from a journey and he had almost gotten on the shores of Auchi when some assassins attacked him.

“Three of his police orderlies, among others died.

“He travelled before and just finished a programme in Tanzania day before yesterday.

“He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen attacked him along Sabingida down to Warake area, and Auchi shares direct boundary with Warake.

“So, he had passed Warake and was entering the boundaries of Auchi when the attack happened,” the lawyer to Apostle Suleman said of the raid by the gunmen.
