Apostle Johnson Suleman, the general overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, has warned that any man in his church who physically assaults his wife will be dealt with.
During a recent sermon, the clergyman advised women in abusive marriages to separate while they are still alive.
He was speaking on Osinachi Nwachukwu, the gospel singer who died as a result of alleged domestic violence.
Suleman said those who choose to remain will only be buried if they die as a result of domestic violence.
“When I once said there are certain marriages that should break, there was nothing they didn’t say about me. That’s why I kept quiet now, or did you hear me say anything? But that’s what everyone is saying now,” Suleman said.
“You’re in a marriage. A man is beating you and you won’t leave? Stay there then. You’ll die and we’ll bury you. If I catch you in this church as a man beating your wife, we will beat you. I’m not joking. What is happening!
“All those women that their husbands are beating, don’t they have brothers? If they don’t have biological brothers, they have Christian brothers!
“If you are in this church and you are beating your wife, stop it. If she reports you to me, we will beat you. I will go to the police station and take permission before I gather brothers in this church to beat you.”
