SaharaReporters had reported that some gunmen on Friday attacked the convoy of Apostle Johnson Suleman in Edo State.
Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has disputed a police report that claimed one of the gang members who allegedly attacked his convoy yesterday was killed in a shootout with officers along the Auchi expressway in Edo State.
SaharaReporters had reported that some gunmen on Friday attacked the convoy of Apostle Johnson Suleman in Edo State.
SaharaReporters had also reported that about four police escorts were killed with others.
Many others were also injured during the incident which happened at Warake road, close to Auchi, Edo State.
The Divisional Police Officer, Ayodele Suleiman, in Auchi also revealed that the police had a gun battle with the suspected gang that attacked the convoy of the cleric on Friday and killed one of the members.
However, in a tweet he made on Friday night in response to the police’s claim, the cleric disclosed that the suspect was apprehended and handed over to the police at the scene where his convoy was attacked.
He further questioned why the security personnel killed a suspect who might have revealed who was responsible for the horrific attack that happened to him.
He wrote: “Lies…there (they) weren’t kidnappers… He was caught and handed over and the police killed him immediately…why?..why killing him on the spot? Who is trying to cover up traces?”
