Nigerians have reacted to the attempted arrest of the founder of the Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleiman by the officials of the Department of State Service, DSS on Wednesday morning in Ekiti state.
The pastor, who was targeted by the DSS following a statement he made during a church service, permitting his church members to attack and kill any Fulani herdsman who attacked them, was rescued by the state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Nigerians have however taken to the social media to rebuke the Federal Government for authorizing the DSS to arrest the man of God.

I commend “>https://twitter.com/GovAyoFayose”>@GovAyoFayose for preventing the DSS from arresting Apostle Johnson Suleman simply bcos he urged Christians to defend themselves.
