Controversial religious figure, Apostle Suleiman is prepared to face the DSS on Monday as scheduled in an invitation letter.
Apostle Johnson Suleiman
The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle
Johnson Suleiman, has formally been invited by the Department of State
Services to appear at its National Headquarters in Abuja, SUNDAY PUNCH
has learnt.
A correspondent learnt on Saturday that the cleric was invited for
interrogation on Monday (tomorrow) by 10am, based on his recent alleged
inciting comments that Christians should defend themselves against
attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
“Suleman will be appearing before the DSS with about 30 lawyers because we believe that his persecution has become politicised,” a source stated.
The invitation is coming four days after Governor Ayo Fayose of
Ekiti State foiled attempts by the DSS to arrest Suleiman in his Hotel
room at Ado-Ekiti.
The Christian Association of Nigeria had also raised the alarm that Suleman “has
become a refugee in Ekiti State as security operatives are said to be
searching every nook and cranny of the state to arrest him.”
The DSS had reportedly invaded a hotel in Ekiti where Suleman and
his team, who were in the state capital for a crusade, were
accommodated.
Sources close to Suleman told a reporter that he had indicated his intention to respond to the invitation.
When contacted, the clerics Communications Adviser, Mr. Phrank
Shaibu, confirmed the invitation, saying he would appear before the DSS
on Monday.
He said, “Yes, I can confirm to you that he (Suleman) was
officially invited and as a law-abiding citizen, he will honour the DSS
invitation on Monday. The invitation, though ludicrous and an
afterthought, is a welcome development.”
Reacting to the invitation, former Prelate of the Methodist Church
of Nigeria, His Eminence Sunday Ola Makinde, told a reporter that
Nigeria should not be turned to a “police state.”
Makinde said, “He should be law-abiding, let him go and face
the DSS. Let us see if they will detain him and they will detain so many
religious leaders in Abuja.
“Nigeria is greater than any religion and Nigeria is greater
than anybody. The DSS should watch it. If they like, let me be the next
victim. What is annoying them is that Suleman converted from Islam to
Christianity.
“Self-defence is permissible; they slapped our first cheek.
They slapped the second cheek and we have no other cheek to turn for
them. We may therefore resort to self-defence because this thing is
becoming intolerable.”
