The Omega Fire Ministry has issued a statement on the attempted arrest of its founder, Apostle Johnson Suleiman.

The statement was jointly issued by Dr. Sule Emmanuel, senior pastor, OFM South Africa Churches and Director of Media (OFM Worldwide) and Barrister Samuel Amune Esq, Coordinator, OFM Legal Team Worldwide.

See statement below:

This is to inform the millions of followers and supporters of Apostle Johnson Suleman all over the world that the man of God is very safe, and that the attempted arrest by the Department of State Security on the man of God on the instruction and orders of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari was unsuccessful.

Over the last couple of months, thousands of defenseless Christians have been killed across various cities in Nigeria, with nearly a thousand so far killed in southern Kaduna alone. Shockingly, there has been no firm statement or action by the Nigerian government to stop these destruction of lives and properties neither has any one been arrested or charge to court, largely because these senseless killings are been perpetrated by kinsmen of the President. And because of the body language of the President, these killings have progressively increased.

However, Apostle Johnson Suleman, in his love for Nigeria and as God’s representative to the people, has refused to keep quiet about all these immoral happenings, and he has continued to speak truth to people in position of authority; calling on the government to do the needful, and protect the citizens. Only recently, God’s servant, Apostle Johnson Suleman was forced to call on Christians all over Nigeria to defend themselves against these killers since the spate of killings has been on the rise. Interestingly, the call by the man of God for the Christians to take caution and defend themselves where necessary has become the core focus of the Nigerian government, despite the fact that it has evidently failed to protect her people. It is now determined to exploit the instruments of the State to go after the man of God.

Typical of a tyrannical government, while the man of God was in Ekiti State–Nigeria for a crusade which held at the Ekiti State Pavilion, the government of President Buhari ordered two truck-load of fully armed DSS officers to forcefully arrest the man of God, but the people and the government of Ekiti-State overwhelmingly resisted the arrest.

Let it be on record that this assault occurred around 1am in the morning of 25/01/2017. Apostle Johnson Suleman is not facing any corruption charges neither is there any petition against him. The attempted arrest being masterminded by the PRESIDENCY against him is unconstitutional, morally wrong and procedurally defective.

This country was founded on the principles of equality before the law and justice. There should be strict adherence to the Spirit and Letters of our Constitution and nobody should be treated as a common criminal. As the country belongs to every one of us irrespective of religion, sex and social status.

By the way, the man of God in his prophecies for the year 2017 which he issued before the end of 2016 had already informed the public how God showed him that in 2017 the government of President Buhari will come after him because of his stand against the policies and actions of the government. But God is ever faithful to protect his Anointed from the oppressors.

All over the world, no responsible government ever makes religious leaders their object of attack, but they would rally round religious leaders to see how to forestall any crisis and foster unity. History has shown that when you make religious leaders objects of attack, the repercussions are very grave.

Beyond just being an esteemed and beloved preacher of the gospel, Apostle Johnson Suleman is a renowned philanthropist and statesman. On a weekly basis, he sponsors widows, jobless graduates and several Nigerians to start businesses and give meaning to their lives, while also giving scholarships to countless number of people to obtain university education.

All these self-sacrificing philanthropic gestures are not directly or indirectly funded by the church, but directly from Apostle Johnson Suleman’s private resources and from his several business interests.

Even with the present needless sufferings and hardship the present government of President Buhari has plunged Nigerians into, Apostle Johnson Suleman has remained undeterred and consistent in doing his best in alleviating the sufferings of the people. While in Ekiti, he doled out over One Million Naira to certain people who had various financial challenges. These individuals were strangers to him, but because they are fellow Nigerians, he considers them his brothers and sisters, and he just had to do something to end their despair. This is the kind of good heart the man of God, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has for his country and his compatriots.

We are hereby calling on the Nigerian government to put a stop to senseless attacks on Christian leaders, especially Apostle Johnson Suleman. These are leaders and beacons of hope whose integrity and teachings have kept this country in unity and consistently given hope to millions of Nigerians faced with hunger, neglect, abuse and ill-treatment from the government they optimistically voted into power.

We will like to inform the government of Nigeria that Omega Fire Ministry has numerous branches of her ministry in over 51 nations, (with over 500,000 membership in Nigeria alone) and all our National churches have been mandated to take our protest letter to the Nigerian Embassy in all these nations, and to inform the government of the respective nations of the despotic and tyrannical approach of the government of President Buhari to Christians and Christian leaders in Nigeria. We also make bold to say that we shall employ all means whatsoever legally permissible to seek redress and defend ourselves and our Apostle should the Presidency continue this senseless attack. It is unacceptable that the killers of the people are not being arrested, but respected men of God are made object of attacks by the institutions of government.

We like to unequivocally state that Apostle Johnson Suleman believes in the progress and unity of Nigeria, and this will remain the core of all his messages. However, no intimidation from the government will stop him from speaking the truth to the government, and standing in defense of the defenseless.

We believe that the greater and brighter days of this country are very close-by, and God in His judgment will surely displace the enemies of his people, regardless of how highly placed they are.

Apostle Johnson Suleman will continue praying for the good of Nigeria, and for the Almighty God to guide her leaders’ right.

In conclusion, we use this medium to call on the government of President Buhari to heed the call of all Nigerians, and step-up in his leadership! Protect the people. Stop the mindless killings going on daily in Nigeria. Stop the unwarranted persecution against the church, the Christian community and the wanton destruction of churches. As father of the nation, let your body language and your voice be visibly heard as leader of a united Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria.”

this is serious

;
on the instruction and orders of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari was unsuccessful.

=====================================


I thought Buhari is being relieved by Osibanjo..
Why is there not a single mention of him
Was Buhari in the country this morning when this event happened?

Anyways

This sounds more like a letter from an opposition political party rather than a church.

This is guy is just looking for an attention or maybe GEJ electoral shock is still taking its toll on him.

A genuine minister of the gospel cannot and should not be this sensational irrespective of the provocations.

Well packaged for the gullible
Keep it up

Aufbauh:

Sure, he should fold his arms n watch while he's slaughtered like a ram!

I know a religion that merely cursing their prophet, they go rioting world wide! Bigots like u wud be moot then.

If an imam was this harrassed, i know d nation wud hv been boiling.


Christians' tolerance is daily taking for a ride n ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
nobody has monopoly of Violence!

a zombie spotted!

Ha still dey watch

was he arrested before?

Mega Arrest is imminent

Hhmmmmm


So if a thief steals and he's arrested 4 weeks later in another location it means Police had to call President to ask for permission to arrest him ?


Different authorities are delegated different powers over different matters , he incited violence , just as Nnamdi Kanu did


His arrest is legal , i do not know why people are defending him

Most of Defenders or avengers are anti Buhari , Anti APC

Omo my prick dey scatch me abeg

The Person that wrote this letter is Good!!! He deserves his next salary.

Nigeria would change when the present government is removed. There is nothing that can be done to change this country that has not been done by them, so next please!

This is to inform the millions of followers and supporters of Apostle Johnson Suleman all over the world that the man of God is very safe

He must have over estimated his follower ship. He is not above the Law.

There is a difference between defend your self and saying

"Any Fulani man you see here, Kill him

In his words :

"
@ 0.47 sec) "I TOLD MY PEOPLE ANY FULANI HERDSMAN YOU SEE AROUND YOU, KILL HIM", (@ 1.02 min.) "AND I'VE TOLD THEM IN THE CHURCH HERE THAT ANY FULANI HERDSMAN THAT JUST ENTERED BY MISTAKE, KILL HIM, KILL HIM, CUT HIS HIS HEAD"...and the incitement continued"


Do we accept that statement like

"Any Yoruba man you see here , kill him " is in order ?


His statement and arrest is within the jurisdiction of DSS.

contrary to the lies in the wickedly crafted press release, Kaduna violence is beyond this administration.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/06/contemporary-ethnic-and-religious-crises-in-kaduna-state/

Violence happned in 1980, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1999, 2000,2001, 2002, 2006,2010 several times in 2011.

So whose Kinsmen were they when that happened ?

Note that we have started democracy from 1999

Some stinking smelling zombies in here will not understand the vital points made by this great man of God rather they will comment without common senses saying that a man of God should not talk or speak against their evil god destroying every good things left for the masses. My prayer for them is for our God to deliver that demonic spirits of zombies that are blocking the reality of things happening in Nigeria .

Wonderful. First of all he referred to herdmen in his statement. They don't write Fulani on their faces------Now, can you give me one tangible reason why HERDSMEN would be found in the church premises? ---- Make use of your sense.

thank God you know there is a provocation.

Everything Taya person for this country self The earlier we speak in One voice against this demons called leaders the better for Us all less we'll all die of hungar even before the next presidential election.


Some gullible ones keep saying they'll right there wrong cometh 2019 that's if we all are still alive cause with the look of things Na hunger them wan use murder Us so ooooo moreover who told you that your vote count for 9ja?before the election sef the Winner has already been decided by the powerful people behind the nigeria politics curtain.

In politics all the politician you keep seeing are not the
only ones dere in behind the scene lies the powerful Men whom U and i no nothing about they make the law while the politician merely dance to there tone .

Arresting a man of God, dis is serious.I thought we had freedom of speech

Most respected Apostle Johnson Suleiman, i hope you will wait behind when the war you are calling for started, i also hope your followers will be willing to sacrifice for you like Ibrahim Zakzaky. If you think if anything happen to you Nigeria will fall/break, you are on a long thing. Inciting war just because your prophesy about GEJ failed is totally wrong. People praising you has never witness crisis not to talk of war and the irony of it the matter is that you will run for cover and allow your gullible followers die like chicken.

MAY GOD HELP US.

The president is more of a fulani man, a fellowcattle rearer of people Suleiman appears to be speaking against. You Suleiman,'' in Buhari's voice, should not be attacking we Fulani, cow rearers because I on behalf of my union is interested in protecting our cows( including our animals and ourselves), than you Naigirians".. Lol

May God and the gods of the land increase your wisdom


This is exactly what went through my mind


but i just chose not to talk yet

I won't be surprised if Suleman himself claims the letter is not from his church

Buhari has been out of the country 2 days before the incident occoured and he handed over to Osibanjo


Clearly if it was Presidency's order, it came from Osibanjo , but their hate for Buhari is the problem

NwamaziNwaAro:

Remember what Christ did when he saw some people trading in the Temple of the Lord..(?)
Getting tensed up for the right reason is not crime/sin..
Any sane person in Nigeria suppose to be more than angry about the ill-situation of this sick country.
