Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide has opened up on the attempt to arrest him by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Suleiman was on a two-day crusade in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state when the DSS operatives tried to arrest him but he was saved by Governor Ayodele Fayose who arrived in time and stopped the operatives from whisking him away.
Sources said the security officials wanted to arrest him early on Wednesday morning, for inciting his audience to rise up against Fulani herdsmen.
Speaking recently in Auchi, Edo state, the man of God called on his members to defend themselves and kill any Fulani herdsmen they find near him or his church.
Suleiman has spoken after the incident and are some things he said.
1. I called some people that there are some men here who say they want to see me at this dead hour of the night, something is fishy.
2. They came with trucks and all that but the governor came and took me out.
3. They tried to break into the place but the crowd scared them.
4. If I spend one day with the security operatives, the damage that will happen in Nigeria will take one year to repair.
5. I have churches in 42 countries and I have alerted them. Every Nigerian embassy in those countries will be in trouble.
6. In this country alone, I have over half a million people and there are reactions already.
Meanwhile news of the foiled arrest of Pastor Suleiman has been generating reactions from Nigerians with many condemning the DSS for its action.
