Leader of The Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, escaped arrest by the Department of State Service (DSS) in the early hours of Wednesday after Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti came to his rescue.
Known for harsh criticism of the government, Fulani herdsmen and MMM, Suleman has boasted that Nigeria will not know peace for at least one year if he is detained.
Expectedly, Nigerian users have a lot to say about the controversy.
Some support the clergyman, wondering why the Nigerian government was going after him when they should go after Fulani herdsmen.

So FG can send armed men to arrest Apostle Suleiman for inciting violence but cant arrest the Fulani herdsmen for perpetrating terrorism? pic.twitter.com/NUVvfkdxgk

Didn’t they say Fulani herdsmen terrorists are Libyans? So why are they disturbed by Apostle Suleiman’s call? @Amaka_Ekwo #BiafraExit

I totally reject all hate messages, whether by apostle Suleiman, CAN or IMAMs. We should seek solutions NOT create more violence/spill blood

Others believe Suleman is a murderer and the antichrist.
Just checked Apostle Suleiman’s latest video on the alleged botched DSS arrest. Dude is insane & dangerous. Nauseating ego too ?

One Apostle Suleiman, who said a Govenor would die sometimes ago, has urged his members to kill Herdsmen at sight!
What a lawless country?

I think Apostle Suleiman is a murderer. The ease with which he sentences people to death is uncanny. This is his 2nd time that I know of.

If Nigeria was a sane state, Apostle Suleiman will be behind bars. Urging his church members to kill for whatever reason is ANTI-CHRIST
