Few days after she was slammed with an indefinite suspension by the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, for tarnishing the image of the association, ace Actress, Halima Abubakar, recanted the adultery allegation she raised against a popular clergy, Apostle Johnson Suleman.

Halima had on several occasions, dragged the name of the clergy to the mud, alleging that he dumped her, despite many intimate moments they had together.

The actress, who was terribly sick at a time, allegedly sponsored several defamatory publications against the Edo-born clergy whom she alleged had also had intimate affairs with other prominent actresses.

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory had since slammed damages against Halima for defaming the preacher.

Meanwhile, years after her allegations came to light, the actress has come out to apologise, revealing that she told lies against the clergy/founder of Omega Fire Ministry.

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

“I am truly sorry for all the hurts and distress I caused you, your family and your ministry. Thank you very much and may heaven calm your heart. God bless you Sir,” the actress added in the personal letter of apology she addressed to the Apostle.
