DSS Plans To Arrest, Detain Oyedepo, Fayose Reveals

The governor made the revelation in a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.

The governor described the planned detainment of the clerics as an indirect invitation to religious crisis in the country.

Fayose, in the statement said, “There is a plan to charge Apostle Suleiman and Bishop Oyedepo for incitement and attempt to cause public disorder on Friday, and make sure that they are not granted bail and remanded in Kuje Prison perpetually.

“Even though the DSS has allowed commonsense to prevail by properly inviting Apostle Suleman as against the gestapo manner with which the service attempted to abduct him last week Wednesday, it is still questionable that the DSS is more interested in a man who threatened to defend himself against any attack by Fulani herdsmen rather than those herdsmen that murdered thousands of Nigerians.

“It is sad and worrisome that after muzzling opposition politicians, judiciary and the press, the APC-led federal government has taken its desperation to suppress dissenting voices in the country to the house of God.”

He said this plan was to humiliate these men of God and silence them to create fear in other people that may want to speak against the heinous crime against humanity being committed daily.

Governor Fayose said the DSS should tell Nigerians how many of the Fulani herdsmen that killed thousands of Nigerians have been arrested before going after Nigerians who merely expressed their frustration over failure of the government to protect them.

Governor Fayose maintained that; “If the DSS had acted swiftly like it is doing on Apostle Suleiman so-called inciting comments when people were being killed by herdsmen across the country, so many lives would have been saved.”
