The Borno State-based pastor, Kallamu Musa-
Dikwa, who accused the Christian Association of
Nigeria of collecting N7bn from President Goodluck
Jonathan to campaign against the APC Presidential
candidate, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.),
has raised the alarm that operatives of the
Directorate of State Service are after his life.
While maintaining that the christian body collected
the said amount, Dikwa said the DSS operatives had
forced him to sign a document, which they plan to
“show the entire world that President(Jonathan) did
not bribe CAN to work against the Presidential
candidate of the APC.”
The cleric said the DSS planned to use the
‘document’, which he signed under duress in some
national dailies, to portray him as telling lies
against the body of Christ.
“They forced me to sign and promised to link me up
with the CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, for
us to ‘settle’,” he said.
He added that some Christian leaders, especially,
the Abuja CAN Chairman, had pleaded with him to
recant, by saying the Christian body never collected
the said amount.
The cleric in Kaduna on Thursday told a news
conference that after the DSS had treated him like a
“common criminal,” the operatives forced him to
sign a document, to state that what he had said on
the bribery saga was untrue.
According to him, since he broke the news on how
the Christian body collected N7bn from Jonathan to
work against the APC presidential candidate, his life
had been under threat.
Dikwa explained that as soon as he finished
addressing newsmen on the the alleged scam, the
DSS invited him to their headquarters in Abuja and
asked him to denounce that CAN did not collect a
kobo from Jonathan.
The cleric said, “The DSS invited me to their office
in Abuja. They wanted to know who gave me the
information that CAN collected N7bn from Jonathan
and I told them.
“They said all those I mentioned will be invited and
told them to go ahead and invite them. I even told
them how the money was disbursed.
“They also said they wanted to know whether the
opposition All Progressives Congress is the one
sponsoring me to tarnish the image of the CAN and
they mentioned Sam Nda Isaiah(Publisher of the
Leadership newspapers) and I told them my
relationship with him is not political because since
2006, I have been with him. I told them, he(Sam)
does not know anything about my revelation on the
said money.
“They also asked what was my connection with the
APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari and Governor Rotimi Amaechi and I told
them there is nothing that connects us. I told them
whatever I said was done for the love of my
country.
“After sometime, they went and drafted a letter,
which says, ‘I Pastor Musa…’the information I gave
that president gave CAN money was false and that I
won’t do that again.
“They said I should copy what they wrote in my own
hand writting. I have to do it because I was alone
with them and I feel they could harm me and frame
me up.
“They forced me to sign after writing what they
drafted. I wanted to refuse but I fear for my life.”
