Following the foiled attempt to arrest the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnso Suleman in Ekiti on Wednesday, the clergyman has attempted to clarify his commandment to followers to kill herdsmen.
The clergyman took to twitters a few hours after the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, saved him from being bundled away by the Department of State Services (DSS). There are speculations that the DSS was on his trail because of the statement he made in one of his sermons at a Auchi, Edo State, urging his followers to “kill herdsmen”.
Suleman said he was not inciting his congregation to attack all Fulani herdsmen, rather, he was referring to herdsmen who come close to him of his church premises.
“Go back to the tape. I said any herdsman seen around me or the church. Not herdsmen walking on there own. Thanks for the love and messages all over. am fine,” he tweeted.
