The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman yesterday night after he was quizzed and released, through his Media Adviser, Phrank Shaibu showered praises on the Nigerian Secret police, the DSS, describing the men in the force as matured, competent and professional.
The clergyman was on Monday night allowed to go home after being quizzed by the Department of State Services for about three hours.
The cleric according to Punch Newspaper secured his freedom about 10:45 pm amidst cheers from members of his congregation, friends, family and some of his pastors.
Suleman was invited by the Department of State Services based on his recent alleged inciting comments that Christians should defend themselves against attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
The session was preceded by interventions from some eminent Nigerians and religious leaders.
It was learnt that Apostle Suleman arrived at the DSS office at about 7.32pm without his lawyers, a report by The Nation Newspaper says.
A top source said according to The Nation: “The cleric has honoured the invitation of DSS and the agency has started interaction with him.
“He actually did not go in with any lawyer in line with earlier interventions by some highly-placed Nigerians and religious leaders.
“The security agency is managing the interaction in a friendly manner in order to avoid any acts capable of stoking political or religious tension in the country.”
Apostle Johnson Suleman's Communications Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, confirmed his release in an interview with our correspondent on Monday night, but promised to give the details tomorrow. (Tuesday morning).
“Apostle Suleman has been allowed to go. The DSS exhibited high level of maturity, competence and professionalism.”, he stated.
