In a desperate move to Islamise
Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has been silent without taking the security
of lives and properties of communities, churches and Christian lives being
destroyed by his kinsmen. Rather, he only reluctantly make some rhetoric after
receiving huge media condemnation. Thus forcing the affected Christian
communities to wanting to resort to self-defence.
As a result of the massive killing being
carried out against Christians, especially in Southern Kaduna, where both the
President and state governor have refused to take pro-active measures to safeguard
the lives of the people in the affected community, a famous and outspoken clergyman,
in the person of Apostle Suleman was alleged to have Christians not to fold their
hands anymore while those blood thirsty Fulani men kill them.
Surprisingly, instead the
government will go after those armed Fulani/Islamic fanatics, they rather
deployed heavily armed security men to go and arrest a man does not have any
hand in the killings, simply because he told Christians to stand up and defend
themselves against further killings by the President’s kinsmen.
But for the intervention of Governor
Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, in the early hours of Wednesday, who allegedly
averted agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) from capturing Apostle
Johnson Suleman of The Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, in Ado Ekiti.
The Pastor, who was in Ado-Ekiti
for a two-day campaign, was asserted to have lectured against Fulani herdsmen by
requesting his members to kill any speculated herders they find close him or
his congregation recently in Auchi, Edo State. It was assembled that Suleman
was trailed to his inn room by the agents of the DSS in Adebayo area of the
state capital, in the wake of paying a courtesy visit on the governor at the
Government House.
The DSS agents who practically
constrained their way into the inn, it was assembled, were likewise said to
have been opposed by security men of the lodging who demanded knowing their
central goal.
The pastor was said to have
alarmed Governor Fayose to inform him of the sudden advancement.
Thus, Fayose by and by drove a
save mission to keep the DSS from leaving with the minister by taking him to safety.
Talking onn the advancement,
Pastor Suleman says, “I received several calls from hidden numbers trying to
locate where I am and I had warned my security not to allow any Fulani man to
come nearer me. So when the men of DSS came in the middle of the night I knew
their mission and I had to call the Governor because if they arrest me, they
will put this country in fire.”
Governor Fayose communicated his
stun over the advancement. He noticed that as opposed to coming about to such
Gestapo-like capture, the DSS could have effortlessly welcomed the godly man in
the event that they have anything against him:
In the expressions of the governor,
“If they have any issue with him instead of arresting him in the dead of the
night after a powerful and spirit-filled crusade in my state.
“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.”
Furthermore, the governor said
that badgering of men of God is a perilous pattern in the nation since religion
is an unpredictable issue government ought to be careful about.
He, subsequently, forewarned
security agents against terrorizing and capture of righteous men in light of a
legitimate concern for peace and religious agreement in the nation.
HE proceeded with, “This is
unacceptable, we are in a democracy and Nigerians should warn the Presidency
against putting this country on fire because religion is an emotional thing.”
