Although the Department of State Services (DSS) asked him to come to its headquarters by 10am on Monday, Johnson Suleman, general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, had not honoured the invitation as of 6:30pm when this report was filed.
Earlier when he was addressing reporters in Abuja, Suleman said the secret police had been in touch with him.
“I presume the right thing was done. They have been in touch with me to come and that is why I am in Abuja, so that I can see them,” he said.
He vowed not to withdraw his controversial statement, explaining that he spoke based on information that herdsmen were plotting to attack him.

“I was talking in my personal capacity on information from a reliable source that certain people in the capacity of herdsmen were coming to attack me and I told the people around me that if it happens they should defend themselves,” he said.
Suleman had told his supporters at a religious crusade in Ekiti recently to defend themselves if they were attacked by herdsmen.
Policemen and DSS personnel with Amoured Personnel Carrier ( APC) have beefed up security around the services’ headquarters ahead of Suleman’s arrival.
