In a statement issued by his Communications Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, on behalf of the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, on Sunday challenged the Federal Government to compel the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to produce the Fulani herdsmen he gave money.
The governor, he said, should be made to answer charges of murder and other related crimes against humanity.
He said naming the beneficiaries of the money would disabuse the minds of Nigerians of the conflict that Christians were the targets of incessant attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
This came as the cleric prepares to appear before the Department of State Services today with not less than 30 lawyers for reportedly asking members of his church to defend themselves against attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
He advised security agents not to allow politicians and ethnic warlords to use them, warning that such a development might lead to grave consequences for Nigeria.
According to him, failure to compel El-Rufai to produce the herdsmen who purportedly collected money from the Kaduna State Government would be an indication of the insincerity of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Suleman said the governor’s response to the killings in Southern Kaduna had been consistent with this mindset.
The Federal Government, Suleman said, would be engaging in double standards by asking the DSS to invite him while allowing El-Rufai to move about freely.
According to him, the fact that the governor has immunity does not preclude him from investigation.
Suleman wondered why his recent speeches had been taken differently by agents of the Federal Government when all he had done was to remain consistent in telling the truth.
