Following his unguarded rant over
herdsmen, the Muslim Rights Concern
(MURIC), has lashed out at the Senior
Pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries, OFM,
Apostle Johnson Suleiman.
BREAKING! MURIC orders the arrest of Apostle
Suleman
MURIC says the clergy is out to make the
“country unsafe for law abiding Muslims and
Fulanis.”
Recall that Suleiman has been in the news
lately after he asked his members to kill any
Fulani herdsmen seen around him and his
church.
In the early hours of this morning, the Ekiti
State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had foiled an
attempt by operatives of the Department of
States Services, DSS, to arrest the clergy man
in Ado-Ekiti.
But MURIC, in a statement by its Director,
Professor Ishaq Akintola, condemned the hate
speech by Sulieman, urging security agencies
to do the needful.
Describing Suleiman’s speech as
“provocative, irresponsible and unpatriotic,”
MURIC urged Nigerians not to allow “some
misguided spiritual leaders who have hidden
agenda to becloud their sense of assessment.”
The statement sent to Daily Post, on
Wednesday reads: “The founder of Omega Fire
Ministries, Johnson Suleman, recently
instructed members of his church to kill
Fulanis. An attempt by operatives of the
Department of State Security (DSS) to arrest
him in Ado Ekiti yesterday was foiled by
Governor Ayodele Fayose.
“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) strongly
condemns Pastor Johnson Suleman’s
vituperations. It is provocative, irresponsible
and unpatriotic. In the same vein, we are
nonplussed by Governor Fayose’s penchant for
preventing security agents from performing
their lawful duties. By shielding such a high
profile suspect, Fayose has manifested blatant
disregard for the rule of law, encouraged
lawlessness and exhibited executive
brigandage.

“Pastor Johnson Suleman wants to make the
country unsafe for Muslims and law abiding
Fulanis. It is not in our character to issue
threats. We are mature enough to control our
emotions. Yet it is not out of cowardice that
we prefer to tow the path of peaceful
coexistence. Muslims have never been known
to fear death or to compromise their faith. But
we do not want to join issues with belligerent
people who are always bullying Muslims and
Fulanis by telling lies and issuing threats.
Neither do we want to heat up the polity.
“What will ordinary Muslims do when we
exchange banters with firebrand Christian
extremists like Johnson? Why should religious
leaders speak as if they have stocked heaps of
weapons in hiding? Why should spiritual
guides incite their followers to kill and maim?
What do religious leaders gain from goading
their followers to shed blood?
“The victims are usually the poor masses who
are hypnotized by the rhetoric and mesmerized
by the oratorical skills of their fanatical
leaders. This is why leaders must weigh every
word they utter. Leaders are models. They
must live by example and teach their followers
to learn how to love, to tolerate, to forgive and
to peacefully coexist.
“MURIC charges Nigerians to objectively and
critically examine the Fulani herdsmen
phenomenon. They should not allow some
misguided spiritual leaders who have hidden
agenda to becloud their sense of assessment.
Fulanis have been coming to Nigeria before the
1914 amalgamation. Their nomadic and
pastoral flow has never waned since the first
Fulanis came from Futa Toro in Senegal in the
11th century. We should therefore not be
surprised that the criminal elements among
the herdsmen are not even Nigerians. They are
Senegalese and Malians.


“It is therefore unwise of us as Nigerians to
allow a few lawless foreigners to cause
religious or ethnic war in our land. Let us
separate criminals from their tribe or religion.
We should resist the temptation to stigmatise
Fulanis or Muslims because a few herdsmen
take the law into their hands. For the
avoidance of doubts, we denounce the criminal
activities of these herdsmen but we should
mind where we point accusing fingers.
“Are Nigerians unaware that the same Fulani
herdsmen have are also been attacking and
killing Muslims in Zamfara, Niger, Kano,
Bauchi and other Northern states? Why have
we been ignoring this angle if we are sincere?
Has the status of a herdsman changed when
he attacks a Northern farmer or a Muslim and
steals his cattle? Let us be objective. Let us
stop criminalizing Fulanis and demonizing
Muslims. It is the height of hypocrisy and
absolute lack of patriotism to give the criminal
activities a religious or ethnic colouration.
“We therefore call on the Nigerian security
agencies to do the needful. Nobody is above
the law. Fayose or no Fayose, Pastor Johnson
Suleman must still be questioned and cautioned
for his vituperations and provocative
statements. He cannot remain tied to Fayose’s
apron string forever.”

Condemning Fayose’s action, the organisation
said, “Even Fayose should be told point blank
that his days as a free man are numbered. He
must answer for his executive rascality and
lawlessness. No governor in the history of
Nigeria has abused his office like Fayose has
done. His cup of executive recklessness has
been filled to the brim. The people of Ekiti
State have indeed entered a ‘one chance’ bus.
Or what do we say about a state governor who
is seldom sober? We do not need a micro-
biologist to tell us whether or not Fayose has
the ‘area boy’ syndrome virus.


“We charge the Nigerian security agencies to
spare no effort in dealing decisively with the
notorious herdsmen who have brought untold
hardship to Nigerian farmers. The full wrath of
the law must be unleashed on them for killing
innocent farmers and destroying their farms.
We appeal to Muslims to go about their lawful
duties and to remain calm and law abiding.
We invite religious leaders to douse tension in
their areas of influence in order to allow peace
to reign.
“As we round up, we remind the United
Nations Organisation, the European Union and
the African Union to take note of the hate
speeches emanating from Nigeria and their
authors for the day when the come will come
to become.”
