The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman has reacted to reports of the arrest of a suspect linked to the attack on his convoy.

It would be recalled that Suleman was attacked along the Benin-Auchi Road in Edo State when gunmen ambushed the cleric’s convoy, resulting in the death of six individuals, including three police officers.

On Thursday, Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi told reporters that operatives of the Intelligence Rapid Team arrested one of the suspects Yusuf Isah, 32, following an intensive investigation.

Reacting to the arrest of the suspect, the clergyman Suleman told his congregants that the police would have done nothing if he did not insist justice must be done.

“October there was an attempt, you all saw the attempt, and when the attempt came I told myself I wasn’t going to rest till we get them arrested,” he said.

“I started with a group of officers, they were not fast so I moved to the next group, they were not fast, and I moved to another set, you see now, police are taking the credit for something that someone mobilized them to do. 

“If I wasn’t serious they won’t get those guys, they can take the credit, it is fine but I said I was going to pursue them and find them, they were deadly guys. They don’t use phone calls, they use telegram, so to track them was a little bit difficult. The guy you saw in the video is a sniper. 

“They caught him in Akure. You will be shocked that we caught him two months ago, you are just hearing it now. We were using him to get all the information we needed to get.”

The cleric added that the group who attacked him was also involved in a kidnapping.

He alleged that they “were the group that attacked the mother of the Kogi State governor as well.”

Suleman noted that “six of them are from Kogi State, and one is a Fulani.”

The clergyman said some persons on social media accused…
