Nigerians have taken to social media to express their disgust and anger at the attempt of the State Security Service (DSS) to arrest Apostle Johnson Suleiman in Ado Ekiti, capital of Ekiti State in the early hours of 25 Wednesday 2017.
Many took to Twitter to condemn the forceful act of the DSS and the silence of the Federal Government of Nigeria while justifying the statement of Suleiman that Christians to attack herdsmen who try to kill them.
Some also praised Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti for standing up for Apostle Suleiman.
But of course there were others who condemned his statement, saying he was inciting violence.
Apostle Suleiman said if Fulani man near d church,kill them,DSS ve never arrested fulani who invades homes to kill sleeping children.

Apostle Suleiman is not your regular type of pastor. He is a political side of Jesus and I respect him for that.

What did Apostle Suleiman say wrong?:
1. El Rufai is a Short Devil – FACT
2. Cut herdsmen head before they cut Yours = SPIRITUAL

And those who has a different stand view…..
Apostle Suleiman Can't Escape This,He Must Be Invited

Apostle Suleiman should know that El-Zakzakay and Nnamdi KANU have followers. He's supposes to be a christian Pastor. He should stop this.

Freedom of speech is not the same thing as inciting violence. Whatever gra gra entered Apostle Suleiman, he's about to find out.
