There are conflicting reports on the arrest of the General Overseer of an Abuja based church, Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman.
Meanwhile, a source says he was picked up by the DSS early on Wednesday morning, for allegedly asking his members to kill any Fulani herdsman that strays into the church premises.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor of Ekiti state, Mr Idowu Adelusi told Channels Television on Wednesday, that the state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, prevented the DSS from arresting the Pastor.
Apostle Suleiman has been very critical of recent killing of Christians in southern Kaduna by herdsmen during his sermons and has encouraged retaliation.
The Pastor was in Ado-Ekiti for a two- day crusade that was also attended by Fayose.
After paying a courtesy visit to the governor, he was trailed to his hotel room by the operatives of the DSS in Adebayo area of the state capital, who almost forced their way to his room but were resisted by security men of the hotel that insisted on knowing their mission.
