– Apostle Suleiman Compels El Rufai to Produce the herdsmen he paid

– Honours DSS invite

Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) Worldwide, has honoured the  invitation of the Department of State Services (DSS) in relation to the statement that has become quite controversial.

Apostle Suleiman had told his members during a church meeting on January 15th, 2017, to defend themselves against the irrational killings of Christians in Kaduna.

He had clarified the statement saying it was directed at the murderous herdsmen and not Fulanis or Muslims. He said he stands by the statement and he is not taking it back. This he said after the failed attempt to arrest him by the DSS.

Prior to his appearance at the DSS office, the clergyman challenged the Federal Government to compel the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to produce the Fulani herdsmen he gave money.

In a statement issued by his Communications Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, he said naming the beneficiaries of the money would disabuse the minds of Nigerians of the conflict that Christians were the targets of incessant attacks by Fulani herdsmen. He added that the failure on the Federal Government to compel the Kaduna State Governor will indicate the insincerity of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“There’s no end to the killing of Christians in Kaduna. Those behind the heinous crime are known. Yet no one has been charged for murder.

Instead people like us who speak the truth are being persecuted. The federal government must not give the impression of partiality or suggest that Christians are the target of this administration.

The governor of Kaduna state confessed that he paid money to some Fulani herdsmen as compensation to stop the killings in southern Kaduna.

That means he knows those who have committed atrocities against Christians. He must be made to produce them to answer to charges of murder and other crimes.

The governor’s response to the killings in Southern Kaduna has been  consistent with this mindset. In a recent chat with newsmen in Kaduna, the governor made different remarks to substantiate his love the herdsmen and their activities.

First, he said when he became governor, he traced the attackers to Cameroon, Chad, and Niger and sent a message to them that one of their own, a Fulani like them, was now governor. This comment displays a dramatically bigoted mindset.

Which is worse? Saying the truth or offering money to murderers? Did El-Rufai offer money to ghosts? For you to pay someone money, the person must have a known and fixed address. As the chief security officer of the state, was it not his business to arrest and put these hoodlums on trial? How come no one has been caught or being prosecuted for the massacre in Southern Kaduna? Obviously, there is more to it than meets the eye,” Suleman said

He concluded by saying if the securities allow themselves to be manipulated by ethnic warlords, the consequences could be intense for the nation.
