Johnson Suleman, the general overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International says he knows those who ambushed his convoy on Friday.
Mr Suleman was on his way to a ministration in the Auchi area of the state when his attackers riddled his cars with live rounds, killing six, according to police spokesman in the state.
Narrating what transpired in a video clip, the preacher said his family members were also in the attacked convoy and seven people were killed.
He said he knows the identity of the attackers but won’t make it public because they will deny the allegation.
“They decided to make an attempt on my life. I just escaped an assassination attempt, where seven people were killed,” the cleric said. “My car was attacked, they opened bullets on my car, they kept spraying it with bullets, my wife and kid were there.
“The escorts car with the police, they kill the policemen and the other escort vehicle. We lost seven people. We were all moving in a convoy.
“People expect me to come out and mention their names so they will come out to deny I won’t do that.”
He addressed the gunmen, saying they will reap what they have sown, and that he cannot be killed because his “life is in the hand of God.”
“You don’t have an idea of the things that happened in 2017, the people who are behind it. You may come and do your own thing but it is beyond what you are thinking.
“I’m alive for those who have been calling, I’m well, my family is fine. I feel bad for the life’s that have been taken. We are mourning but Jesus is lord. And for all those who were killed may their soul rest in peace.
“For the young men who opened the fire and kept wasting people. I won’t take your life but the seed that you sow you will reap it.
“I want Nigerians to know that a coordinated liar swallows an uncoordinated truth, with time the teeth will come out,” Mr Suleman said.
