Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has penned a public apology to the founder of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman whom she said she lied against and for defaming him.

The controversial thespian in her open letter posted on her instagram handle, said she acknowledges the ‘’falsehood and lies” she published against the clergyman and is offering her apologies to him.

Halima who recently slammed the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) with a N3 billion lawsuit over claims that she was responsible for spreading false information about patrons and other members of the organisation, said that she has realized the depth of the harm, pain and distress that the lies she told caused the clergyman.

The letter reads thus in full; “I am writing to you today to acknowledge the falsehoods I made against you on social media and to offer my sincerest apologies. After deep reflections, and for my conscience to be in accord with God, I have realized the depth of the harm, pains and distress caused by my lies.

“I admit that I made false allegations against you; and also regret my actions and the damage I caused to you, your wife, Dr. Mrs. Lizzy Suleman, your family, and the Leaders of the Omega Fire Ministry.

“With this letter, I humbly ask for your forgiveness, recognizing that my apology cannot undo the harm, pains and distress I caused and I ask you find a place in your heart to forgive me as I was not thinking right then. Sir, you have done a lot for humanity, please, extend your hands of forgiveness toward me.
“Once again, Sir, I am truly sorry for all the hurts and distress I caused you, your family, and your ministry.

“Thank you very much and may the Heavens calm your heart. God bless you, Sir.” The open letter concluded.
