Apostle Johnson Suleman’s Ministry Breaks Silence, Warns president Buhari

Following the attempted arrest earlier this
morning of Apostle Johnson Suleman, the
president and founder of Omega Fire Ministry
worldwide by officials from the Department of
State Security (SSS), the church management has
issued a press release condemning the
development.
The statement jointly signed 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, reads;
“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.”
