Agbomhere urged the federal government to and the DSS to focus on stopping the menace of herdsmen in parts of the country instead of causing crisis for the administration, The Nation reports.
He said: “Everybody has a right of free speech, any attempt to arrest him can cause a lot of setback for the Buhari administration. As a supporter of the president and a believer in this administration, I don’t want the presidency or the DSS to be drawn into a religious battle.
“Everybody is angry about the killings in Kaduna. Everybody is entitled to express his feelings including those following the leader. Apostle Suleiman is a leader of the Christian community. They should focus on how to stop the menace of herdsmen in Nigeria because arresting Suleiman is like the Federal Government encouraging the activities of the herdsmen.

“The DSS and the Federal Government should not cause anarchy in this country. The arrest of Suleiman is capable of putting Nigeria into crisis. That will pitch the Christian community against the Federal Government which we will not like.
“We hope the attempted arrest is a lie. If it is a lie we urge the DSS to issue a statement to disown the alleged arrest.”
Recall that Governor Ayodele Fayose had told newsmen in Ekiti State that he foiled attempt by operatives of the DSS to arrest Apostle Suleiman who is in the state for a crusade.
The alleged attempt to arrest Apostle Suleiman might be connected with a video that gone viral in which he urged his church members to kill any herdsman that come near his church because he received information of plans to assassinate him.
