VIDEO: 'We were paid N50m to kill Apostle Suleman,' suspect confesses

A suspect arrested over the deadly attack on the convoy of a Nigerian televangelist, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has said that they were paid N50 million to kill the cleric.

Mr Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministry, was attacked in October 2022 in Edo State, South-south Nigeria.

Yusuf Isa, a 32-year-old plumber from Okene in Kogi State, was paraded by the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in Abuja last week.

In a recorded interview posted on Twitter, Mr Isah detailed the operational tactics his eight-member gang adopted to evade arrest from security agents, saying it was only God that wanted him arrested.

"It is not easy for the Police Force to track us. We don't make calls, the phone I am using I've never used it to call anybody. We specialised in using the Telegram platform to communicate with ourselves.

"Telegram uses username, not number, unlike WhatsApp. Even the line we are using to buy data, it is not a registered line. We did not register any line by ourselves, and we did not open any account with our own identity.

"I can only say that only God wanted to track me down because of the calibre of people we have assaulted.

"We wanted to kill him. Somebody planned it, but I don't know the person. It was Labista and Eliazu. Labista is on the run, but Eliazu is dead," he said when asked about their intention for the attack.

Mr Isah declined knowledge of who sponsored the attack but said his gang members told him they got N50 million to kill the cleric.

"I just wish I could see him (the cleric) one on one to beg for forgiveness. I'm really sorry," he said, adding that it has been "hell" for his gang members after the attack.

"We lost two of our leaders. After Eliazu, the next leader, Ejima, also died. I am the next leader after Ejima. Now I have been arrested."

In another Twitter video, the suspect said four gang members - three in Abuja and one in Ekiti State - were still remaining.
