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.
