CAN Borkers Peace With DSS On Apostle Suleiman

Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the 19 Northern states and Abuja, Rev. Yakubu Pam, was the Christian leader who brokered peace between the Department of State Service, DSS, and embattled Apostle Johnson Suleiman, who has been a guest of the DSS.

Reports from different sorces stated that the DSS treated Suleiman with maturity and a high sense of respect instead of the alleged harassment.

Sorces also said the security operatives merely pleaded with the pastor not to heat up the polity with his messages given his large followership across the country. The source disclosed that the security men reminded the cleric that given his Muslim parentage and large Christian followership, any statement from him was bound to exert enormous influence on the society and create problems for all if not well handled.

The DSS was said to have told Suleiman: “Your message can be exploited by mischief makers to cause serious problems for the country and its people given your mixed background and large followership and we want you to assist the Federal Government to find a lasting peace to the crisis in the land instead of doing anything that could further heat up the polity.

“Sir, we also want you to realise that there is hunger in the land and idle hands can easily cash in on any statement to cause mayhem in the country, thereby drawing back the hands of development and progress in the country.”
