DSS invites Apostle Suleiman over ‘inciting’ comments

The Department of State Services (DSS) has summoned Apostle Johnson Suleiman, the General
Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries World Wide, after an earlier attempt to arrest him was reportedly foiled by the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Sunday Sun gathered that the embattled clergyman is expected to report at the Head Office of the service in Abuja tomorrow, January 30, by 10am.
The invitation is not unconnected with the recent alleged inciting comments that Christians should defend themselves against attacks by Fulani herdsmen credited to the man of God.
While many Nigerians have commended him for speaking out against alleged persecution of Christians in the country, some have demanded that he be arrested and interrogated.
The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has also called for the arrest of the cleric, who he accused of intolerance.
“I have never picked up the microphone to insult any Christian leader. We should be tolerant of one another and work towards achieving peace in this country. I have never lost hope in this country as far as the search for peace of this country is concerned. No matter what happens, those championing peace will succeed at the end of the day, There is friction between Christians and Muslims which is caused by preachers of hate. While we pray for peace and dialogue, preachers of hate must be reported to the security agencies,” the Sultan was quoted to have said.
