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.
