Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose in the early hours of this morning 25th January, foiled a plan by officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest Apostle Johnson Suleman of The Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide in Ado Ekiti.
The Pastor who was in Ado Ekiti for a two-day crusade preached against Fulani Herdsmen rampage and told his congregation kill any suspected herdsmen they find near him or the church. Suleman was trailed to his hotel room by DSS operatives after paying a courtesy visit to governor Fayose at the State House.
The DSS operatives who almost forced their way into the hotel was also said to have been resisted by security men of the hotel who insisted on knowing their mission. The pastor was said to have alerted Governor Fayose to apprise him of the sudden development. Consequently, Fayose personally led a rescue mission to prevent the DSS from going away with the pastor by taking him to safety.
The Governor when giving his speech said:I personally attended his crusade and I think it is wrong for a man of God who is armless that could be invited if they have any issue against him. Are Christians and Moslems under different dispensation of the rule of law? . That’s why I went there to rescue him. Let them kill two of us together. “But when they saw my vehicles and the crowd, they fled. “But we have information that instructions came from DSS in Abuja that the Pastor should be arrested.We are not in a fascist state, Federal Government must learn to respect the rights of Nigerians and freedom of expression”.
