Suleman is the General Overseer of The Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, a fast-growing church with its headquarters in Auchi, Edo state.

He was in Ekiti state for a two-day crusade and was lodged at Midas Hotel, Iworoko road, Ado Ekiti when the DSS stormed the place.

The DSS action might be as a result of a widely circulated video of Apostle Suleman in which he asked his church members to deal ruthlessly with any Fulani herdsman whose mission is to attack him or the church.

Apostle Suleman video had sparked debate among Nigerians as some people accused the cleric of inciting violence, while others called for his arrest.

Henry Asarapo Oluwole has a message for Christians in Nigeria, he wrote:

''I pray that this government with DSS will not outstep their boundary.Nobody pray for religious war.lf they set this country on fire,it will be the end of this country.Let all Christians arise and Pray. We made a big mistake by voting wrongly.''

''This is so sad! The President should please call DSS to order. These actions portray the regime in a very bad light and is capable of causing an uproar.''

Twitter is also buzzing with the topic and as at the time of this report, it is the number three trending topic in Nigeria.

A warning....

Should Christian leaders join the bandwagon?

Is Acting President Yemi Osinbajo aware of the DSS action?
