General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has been invited by the Department of State Services to appear at its National Headquarters in Abuja. The cleric was invited for interrogation on Monday by 10:00 am, based on his recent alleged inciting comments that Christians should defend themselves against attacks by Fulani herdsmen. The invitation came about four days after Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State foiled attempt by the DSS to arrest him in his Hotel and 24 hours after the Christian Association of Nigeria 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 with a view to arresting 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. The security operatives were said to have insisted on remaining in the hotel until he surrendered himself for arrest. But for the timely intervention of the management of the hotel and other Nigerians, the invasion could have resulted into bloodshed as the Minister of God was there with some policemen and officers. The cleric has however indicated his intention to respond to the invitation.
