No fewer than seven persons, including four policemen, have been reportedly killed during an attack by some unidentified armed men on the convoy of the Founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman.

It was learnt that Suleman, while returning from Tanzania, and heading to Edo State was attacked by some armed men along the Benin Auchi Road, Edo State, on Friday.

During the attack, the gunmen were said to have opened fire on his convoy unprovoked. This led to the death of three police escorts of the Pastor with another four persons.

Suleman’s lawyer, Samuel Amune, has also confirmed the attack to the members of the press.

In his words, “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 the day before yesterday.

“He was returning to Auchi when the gunmen attacked him along Sabon Gida down to the Warake area, and Auchi shares a direct boundary with Warake. So, he had passed Warake and was entering the boundaries of Auchi when the attack happened.”
