Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar , has admitted to making false allegations against controversial Nigerian clergy, Apostle Johnson Suleiman. Naija News reports that Halima, in a letter shared on her Instagram page, publicly tendered an apology to Suleiman over her action, which had caused damage to the clergy. This apology comes six months after a Federal Capital Territory High Court ordered the movie star to pay N10 million as damages to the cleric for publishing derogatory comments against him.
Suleiman had accused Halima Abubakar of publishing defamatory statements against him on her Instagram page, accusing him of being a womanizer and diabolical, among others. Halima’s letter read, “I am writing to you today to acknowledge the falsehoods I made against you on social media and to offer my sincerest apologies. After deep reflections, and for my conscience to be in accord with God, I have realized the depth of the harm, pains and distress caused by my lies.
“I admit that I made false allegations against you; and also regret my actions and the damage I caused to you, your wife, Dr. Mrs. Lizzy Suleman, your family, and the Leaders of the Omega Fire Ministry.
“With this letter, I humbly ask for your forgiveness, recognizing that my apology cannot undo the harm, pains and distress I caused and I ask you find a place in your heart to forgive me as I was not thinking right then. Sir, you have done a lot for humanity, please, extend your hands of forgiveness toward me. �.
