THE Department of States Services, DSS, has invited a senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, OFM, Apostle Johnson Suleiman.
This invitation is coming two day after the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), called for his arrest over his unguided rant over herdsmen.
MURIC said the clergy is out to make the “country unsafe for law abiding Muslims and Fulanis.”
Recall that Suleiman has been in the news lately after he asked his members to kill any Fulani herdsmen seen around him and his church.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had foiled an attempt by operatives of the Department of States Services, DSS, to arrest the clergy man in Ado-Ekiti recently.
Suleiman, Social Times gathered was directed to appear at the agency's headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
The clergy has threatened to sue the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly attempting to arrest him.
Speaking to newsmen, Thursday, the chamber of Olayiwola Afolabi & Co said it has the blessing of Suleiman to take legal action against the DSS claiming “exemplary damages for its politically motivated moves against our client.”
Lead counsel of the company, Olayiwola Afolabi in company with William Usman, described the action of the DSS as “a Luciferic attack on a harmless, innocent and trustworthy citizen.”
Afolabi said they were baffled that their client, who is a public figure, was not just simply invited to clarify his statement, but chose a commando style to harass their client.
The Director of Media, OFM, Dr. Sule Emmanuel and Coordinator, Legal team, Samuel Amune yesterday assured that Suleiman was safe.
The church explained: “Suleiman was forced to call on Christians to defend themselves against these killers since the spate of killings, rather than abate, had been on the rise. Interestingly, the call by the man of God now became the focus of the Nigerian government, despite the fact that it evidently had failed to protect her people. It is now determined to exploit the instruments of the state to go after the man of God."
