The husband of the woman, Pastor Mike Davids, is reported to have left the church over the incident.

Davids in a petition to the IGP through his lawyer accused Suleman of dating his wife and destroying his marriage.

He said his wife confessed to him that the religious leader had extramarital affair with her when she went to help him to set up a gospel television station.

Davids said:

''My wife was a staffer with NTA Iruekpen, so Apostle Suleman reached out to her that they will need her to build Celebration TV and Rhema for Living. She would have to shuttle between Osun State and Auchi.
“She came back from Auchi to Osun State and said she wanted to talk to me that her conscience was pricking her. I asked what was it and she said that while in Auchi, Apostle Suleman lodged her at Uyi Grand Hotel and he came there and slept with her.''

''Re: Criminal petition against Apostle Johnson Suleman for enticement of a married woman; adultery; unlawful criminal restraint to access children and threat to Life''

The letter read in part:

“I attach herewith a copy of a letter dated December 30, 2020 with its attachments received from V.C Ezenagu & Associates on the above underlined subject. The Inspector-General of Police directs that you treat. Accept the assurances of my esteemed regards please.”
