Early this morning, Apostle Johnson Suleiman of The Omega Fire
Ministries World wide was rescued by governor Fayose during an attempt
by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest him in Ado
Ekiti.This comes after the Pastor was alleged to have asked members of
his church to resist the killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
According to reports, after a visit to the governor,in the early hours
of today, the pastor who was in Ado Ekiti for a two-day crusade was
trailed to his hotel room by the operatives of the DSS .They almost
forced their way to his room but were resisted by security men of the
hotel that insisted to know their mission.
On getting wind of the situation, Fayose rushed to the hotel and whisked him away.
Following his near arrest, Suleiman said
“I came to Ado Ekiti for a crusade. But I had a premonition that I was
being trailed after I preached that Christians should retaliate any
attack or killings by the Fulani herdsmen. These Fulani headmen had
turned many Christians to orphans and widowers but the time has come to
protect ourselves. “I received several calls from hidden numbers trying
to locate where I am and I had warned my security not to allow any
Fulani man to come nearer me. So when the men of DSS came in the middle
of the night I knew their mission and I had to call the Governor because
if they arrest me, they will put this country in fire”.
“I personally attended his crusade and I think it is wrong for a man of
God who is armless that could be invited if they have any issue against
him. Are Christians and Moslems under different dispensation of the
rule of law? . That’s why I went there to rescue him. Let them kill two
of us together. But when they saw my vehicles and the crowd, they fled.
“But we have information that instructions came from DSS in Abuja that
the Pastor should be arrested. We are not in a fascist state, Federal
Government must learn to respect the rights of Nigerians and freedom of
expression”.
the Presidency against putting this country on fire because religion is
an emotional thing”.
