Suleman was invited by the DSS to appear at their Abuja office on Monday, January 30, 2017, by 10 am.

There are indications that the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman will honour the Department of State Services (DSS) invitation.

According to reports, the Man of God has already put together a team of 30 top legal luminaries who will go to the Abuja office of the DSS with him.

The pastor has been in the books of the DSS, following a comment which he made during one of his sermons, where he allegedly told his members to kill Fulani herdsmen.

Following the speech, the DSS reportedly planned to arrest him secretly from his hotel room in Ado-Ekiti where he went to hold a crusade.

The attempt by the DSS to arrest the fiery pastor was foiled by the Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose, who rescued Suleman.

According to Punch, a source close to the pastor said “Suleman will be appearing before the DSS with about 30 lawyers because we believe that his persecution has become politicised.”

The Pastor’s Communications Adviser, Phrank Shaibu also confirmed that his boss was invited by the DSS.

Shaibu said “Yes, I can confirm to you that he (Suleman) 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.”

Some political observes say Suleman might have stepped on toes when he praised Governor Ayo Fayose, describing him as a rebel with potential.
