DSS should leave Apostle Suleman and invite Sultan, Zahra Buhari, others – IPOB
- The Indigenous People of Biafra has cautioned the State Security Service (SSS) over its recent invitation to Apostle Johnson Suleman
- The group said the secret police is being hypocritical in its dealing with individuals who have incited hate in Nigeria
- Rather than invite Suleman for questioning the group further listed names of those the SSS should be interrogating
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cautioned the State Security Service over its reported invitation to the founder of Omega Fire Ministries Apostle Johnson Suleman.
In a statement released on Sunday, January 29, the IPOB said inviting Suleman for interrogation is hypocritical.
Recall that Apostle Suleman had last week advised members of his church to defend themselves against attack by herdsmen.
The cleric told his congregation to kill every herdsman that tries to attack them or their family member.
Suleman’s statement came after the continuous rise in the killing of Southern Kaduna people by some herdsmen.

Also last week, the SSS made an attempt to arrest the clergy in a hotel in Ekiti but was prevent by the governor of the state Ayodele Fayose.
However, the secret police has asked Suleman to appear before it on Monday, January 30.
But the IPOB in its statement signed by Powerful Emma said the invitation by SSS was incited by the Sultan of Sokoto Sa’aad Abubakar, who called for the arrest of Suleman.
The group said: “We recall that in 2016, Weeklypostng.com reported a message from Zahra Buhari, then 21 years old and daughter of Muhammadu Buhari, in which she stated as follows: ‘killing will keep going on, Muslims who donts (sic) want to adhere to Muslims rules will be killed, Christians will die until they turn Muslims, Biafrans is just a say (sic) dream, political oppositions must follow my daadys (sic) rule."
“We also recall that in 2016, the Sultan of Sokoto ordered Muslims in Nigeria to fight anyone trying to stop them practicing Islam without giving details of what he meant by “trying to stop them”.
“In a tweet in 2012, Mallam Nasir El-rufai stated as follows: “We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not, that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes.
“We further remind the world that the public relations officer of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), Mr Yakubu Kuzamani, accused Mallam Nasir El Rufai of engaging in hate speech while El Rufai was speaking on an Aljazeera Television programme on Tuesday, 17th of January, 2017,” the IPOB said.

The group further it is suspicious that none of the people mentioned above has been arrest or invited by the secret police for questioning.
IPOB further called on the Senate to call the SSS to order over suspected act of tyranny and religious bigotry.
“It is also very worrisome that Theresa May and her British Government do not see anything wrong with the current persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
This is the same Theresa May who spoke through Boris Johnson to plead for Christians implicated in the failed coup in Turkey. We also remind the world that it was the British that brought Anglicanism to Nigeria but is now working with Moslems to exterminate Christians.
“We also recall that Catholicism came from Rome (Italy), Pentecostalism and Baptist Mission came from the USA, the Lutheran church came from Germany, and Presbyterian and Methodist missions came from Scotland.
These countries have their Embassies/Missions in Nigeria but have all kept silent as Muslims go on a rampage against Christians, now culminating in the invitation of Apostle Johnson Suleiman to SSS Headquarters in Abuja for questioning and possible long-time detention.

“With the silence of these countries, we are bound to ask if they are only interested in the money they make from church members in Christendom in Nigeria. Why must Muslims be the only people with the unfettered license to hate speech and violence?
“Why is the British Government so intensely glued to Islam and highly supportive of their violent ways? What is is it in Islam that the British Government enjoys that they are always supporting Islamic countries but working against existing Judeo-Christian nations or those agitating for their nations such the Biafrans?
“Why is the British Government so much in love and in bed with Islam and radical Islamism? Why will the British Government, a supposedly Christian faith based Government, keep quiet and watch Apostle Johnson Suleiman railroaded into the SSS detention cell, come Monday, January 30th, 2017?” the group asked.
