Federal agents have been warned against arresting Apostle Suleman over insightful comments made about Fulani herdsmen.
Apostle Johnson Suleman
A group known as the Buhari Support Group, BSG, has warned the
Department of State Services, DSS, against arresting the senior Pastor
of the Omega Fire Ministries, OFM, Apostle Johnson Suleman, stressing
that such action will spell doom for the current Federal Government
according to the DailyPost.
Recall that the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had in the
early hours of Wednesday prevented operatives of the DSS from arresting
Suleman in the early hours of Wednesday.
The attempted arrest was allegedly connected to Suleman’s recent
message to his members to kill any Fulani herdsmen seen around him or
the church.
But in a statement signed by its deputy director, Blessing
Agbomhere, the group said arresting of cleric will pitch the Christian
community against the Buhari-led Federal Government.
The group noted that Suleman’s comments on the killings in Southern
Kaduna were a reflection of the mind of the Christian community across
the country.
The group also urged the DSS to focus on stopping clashes between
farmers and herdsmen in parts of the country and ensure the security of
lives and property.
According to Agbomhere, “Everybody has a right to free speech, any attempt to arrest him can cause a lot of setback for the Buhari administration.
“As a supporter of the President and a believer in this
administration, I don’t want the presidency or the DSS to be drawn into a
religious battle.”
