Apostle Suleman To Storm DSS Office With 30 Lawyers !!!
General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has formally been invited by the Department of State Services to appear at its National Headquarters in Abuja.
The cleric was invited for interrogation on Monday (tomorrow) by 10am, based on alleged inciting comments that Christians should defend themselves against attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
“Suleman will be appearing before the DSS with about 30 lawyers because we believe that his persecution has become politicised.”
Sources close to Apostle Suleman told Punch that he had indicated his intention to respond to the invitation.

The clerics Communications Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, confirmed the invitation, saying he would appear before the DSS on Monday.
He said, “Yes, I can confirm to you that he was officially invited and as a law-abiding citizen, he will honour the DSS invitation on Monday. The invitation, though ludicrous and an afterthought, is a welcome development.”
Reacting to the invitation, former Prelate of Methodist Church Nigeria, His Eminence Sunday Ola Makinde, told Punch that Nigeria should not be turned to a “police state.”
He said, “He should be law-abiding, let him go and face the DSS. Let us see if they will detain him and they will detain so many religious leaders in Abuja.
“Nigeria is greater than any religion and Nigeria is greater than anybody. The DSS should watch it. If they like, let me be the next victim. What is annoying them is that Suleman converted from Islam to Christianity.
“Self-defence is permissible; they slapped our first cheek. They slapped the second cheek and we have no other cheek to turn for them. We may therefore resort to self-defence because this thing is becoming intolerable.”
