Apostle Johnson Suleman
It has been revealed that the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN
played a significant role in making sure that embattled man of God,
Apostle Johnson Suleman got released by the Department of State Services
over inciting comments ascribed to him.
It was gathered that the Chairman of CAN in the Northern states and
Abuja Rev. Yakubu Pam, was the Christian leader responsible for the
peaceful negotiations between the DSS and the General Overseer of the
Omega Fire Minstries, reports Vanguard.
It is worthwhile to note that the Inspector General of Police, Mr.
Ibrahim Idris, had earlier called the Northern CAN boss intimating him
of their intention to arrest the preacher over a recent controversial
statement credited to him.
An undisclosed source revealed that Rev. Pam struck a bargain with
the IG to give the church sometime to intervene and handle the matter in
such a way to avoid heating up an already charged atmosphere with
particular reference to the upheavals in Southern Kaduna but the DSS
surprised both men when a day after the said discussion it moved to
arrest the cleric in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The negotiation was supposed to involve the Northern CAN chairman
and the National President of PFN, Rev. Omobude, but the DSS’ attempt to
arrest Apostle Suleman in Ado Ekiti which has let loose the avalanche
of protests across the country cut short the meeting becoming a reality.
However, the Northern CAN boss was able to successfully diffuse the
situation by intimating the DSS boss of the steps put in place to
address his reported hate speech.
