Apostle Johnson Suleman has sparked reactions among social media users following his response to Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar's apology to him.

Recall that Halima Abubakar had alleged on social media in 2022 that she had a romantic relationship with Apostle Suleman, prompting threats of legal action from the cleric over defamatory statements.

The controversy escalated in 2023 when the actress claimed she had been pregnant three times with Apostle Suleman's child. However, in a surprising turn of events, Halima Abubakar publicly apologized to Apostle Suleman, admitting that she had lied against him and attributing it to the work of the devil.

In response, Apostle Suleman stated that forgiving did not mean forgetting, and people should stop calling him.

This statement elicited mixed reactions among social media users, who shared varying opinions. Some believed the cleric should press charges against the actress for defamation, while others argued that he should practice forgiveness as he preaches by forgiving Halima Abubakar.

NjaCoach: "The same people asking for forgiveness were cheering "Crucify him!" when she made the sex accusations. She still has not confessed who sent her on the hatchet job. "Please insist she pays, but you then donate the proceeds to charity, such as an orphanage."

realTobiAkinbo: "Now they are accusing the devil for influencing her; they be like, na devil work. She should first give her life to Christ, then go on a 30-day and 30-night fast and pray for total cleansing."

EmperorFabajjj: "Let this serve as a deterrent to others, Apostle; do not yield to any emotional blackmailing, please. If you allow her to go Scott free, another jezebel would rise again."
