"There are people you touch and things will just spoil” --- Apostle Suleman issues warning to Zambian government for forcefully deporting one of his pastors


Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has warned the Zambian government after the forceful deportation of one of his pastors that work in their country.

As men of the Zambian police and officials of the Zambian Immigration service, stormed the home of the pastor , Austine Obosele, in Lusaka,  to deport him back to Nigeria.

They accused him of staying in their country despite the expiration of his employment permit.

Obosele told Zambian press that he had been trying to renew his immigration documentation but that a senior official from the Ministry of Religious National Guidance had vowed to see to it that he was deported after he refused to give him K30, 000 as bribe.

Obosele alleged that some expelled members of the church had also teamed up with the government officials so that they could take over the church, money in the church account and properties after his deportation.

Reacting to the attack on Obosele, the founder of the church, Apostle Suleiman in a statement released yesterday accused the Zambian government of always allowing foreigners to start big investments in the country, grow the investment and later deport them so that Zambians can take over the investments. "If you fight my pastor, you are fighting me. And if you fight me, wait for the results, there will be problems. There will be reactions. Its not the best thing to do. When you do this, you send signals around the world. I am saying this because I know they are watching me. There are people you touch and things will just spoil.” he said

The pregnant wife of the pastor and one of his senor church members have been detained for obstructing the arrest and deportation of the pastor.
