The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has formally been invited by the Department of State Services to appear at its National Headquarters in Abuja, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

Our 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 Suleman 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 SUNDAY PUNCH 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 SUNDAY PUNCH 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.”

The cleric is expected to tell the DSS how President Muhammadu Buhari would face impeachment threats and how Abuja would experience major fire explosion as contained in his predictions.

Suleman, according to a security source is also expected to give an insight into his prediction that “Buhari will be bereaved in 2017” and that the President’s “health needs attention.”

The security agency is also expected to drill him on his prediction that “Forces in Aso Rock are planning to poison current First Lady (Aisha Buhari).”

The security source said most of the actions and predictions of the prophet could destabilise the country.

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.”

30 lawyers for weytin

owobokiri:
What about the hundreds of muslim clerics across all kinds dingy mosques in this god forsaken country that preach hate every friday? Marry underage and stop millions of kids from going to school? The same kids that will later join boko haram and start bombing right left and center? They are not security risks too, abi? This attempt muscle down everybody must be resisted.

10 million almajiris should be enough evidence..

rusher14:


There are militants, kidnappers and women who sell their kids for money. That doesn't mean they were indoctrinated by their respective churches or parents.

All we need is a single recording by anyone stating the reason why anyone of any tribe, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation should be killed and then we would know which of us is really interested in coexistence.

You guys have been instigating violence for a long time but I know most promoters are never physically involved in the fights themselves when they do occur.

owobokiri:


We don't have almajiri schools dedicated SOLELY to the indoctrination of innocent minds to become fighters of a warped strand of your strange religion.. Your president said worse things and has killed for power so where does he start to threaten anybody who says he will defend himself if threatened by your pugnacious kind? Your mosques all over northern Nigeria preach hate every friday. How many people were arrested or prosecuted for the shariah riots? the miss world riots? fulani herdsmen killings? How can a clan of murderers be intimidating peaceful humans with prosecutions and imprisonment when your hands are dripping with blood

rusher14:


I am a Christian from the south and I don't appreciate lies.

Provide simple evidence that clerics up north incite their congregation to kill.

Just one recording of one of their leaders asking for their people to kill others.

Save us the prevarication.

owobokiri:


Did you read Sanusi at Minna? Maybe you should do, because at the rate you are going, even if i hit you with a litany of "evidence" like a sledgehammer, you will still be "prevaricating"

tit:


If he like let him come there with angels.
He will spend time in kiri kiri

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:




You have no tangible evidence even in court of law, Pastor Sule will be jail in ICC with just that video of him saying if he was detain all Nigeria Embassy will be brought down..

owobokiri:


lol, you guys are starting to go too far.. Do i come across like the type you will easily befuddle with that "evidence" nonsense? Go ahead and jail him. This is what happens when you are allowed to carry on for so long with your atrocious government that you start to think you can do anything and get away with. How many fulani herdsmen have been invited by that foolish looking Daurra guy for questioning by the so called DSS? You lot are baying for trouble and trouble you will get.. This administration is dead anyway, we are just waiting for the burial..

HtwoOw:
Like I said, Sule just got himself the opportunity to share cell with Nnamdi

And heaven will not fall


If he likes let him bring 300 lawyers


And those who will shout islamization remember zakyzaky is still being held

rusher14:


Sanusi gave a warning akin to me saying Owobokiri should avoid giving hate speeches.

Even if he does, I can only provide evidence before I can ask for his arrest and subsequent conviction.

Please provide evidence. Hearsay holds no weight in court.

Lanretoye:
what is d meaning of DSS self?
