THE HYPOCRISY IN SSS INVITATION TO APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEIMAN
WHILE LEAVING OUT ZAHRA BUHARI, SULTAN OF SOKOTO, AND NASIR EL RUFAI.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have viewed with
disdain and as an act of hypocrisy, the invitation of Apostle Johnson Suleiman
to State Security Services (SSS) Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, January 30th,
2017 by 10 am. The SSS who unilaterally and illegally assumed the name
“Department of State Services (DSS),“ has invited Apostle Suleiman because he
advised members of his church to exercise their UN-approved and inalienable
fundamental human right of self-defence if attacked by Islamic terrorists. It
is worthy to note that this invitation by the SSS came after the Sultan of
Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, called for the arrest of Apostle
Suleiman.
We recall that in 2016, Weeklypostng.com reported a message
from Zahra Buhari, then 21years old and daughter of Muhammadu Buhari, in which
she stated as follows: “killing will keep going on, muslims who donts (sic)
want to adhere to Muslims rules will be killed, christians will die until they
turn muslims, biafrans is just a say (sic) dream, politcal oppositions must
follow my daadys (sic) rule.“ We also recall that in 2016, the Sultan of Sokoto
ordered Muslims in Nigeria to fight anyone trying to stop them practising Islam
without giving details of what he meant by “trying to stop them.“
In a tweet in 2012, Mallam Nasir El Rufai stated as follows:
“We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not, that kills the
Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes.“ We further
remind the world that the public relations officer of Southern Kaduna Peoples
Union (SOKAPU), Mr Yakubu Kuzamani,
accused Mallam Nasir El Rufai of engaging in hate speech while El Rufai was
speaking on an Aljazeera Television programme on Tuesday, 17th of January, 2017.
In all these three examples, the common thread is hate
speech and incitement of Muslims against non-Muslims. But in all the three,
none of the perpetrators of the hate speeches has been invited by the SSS.
Then, why is Apostle Johnson Suleiman being singled out for investigation by the
SSS? Why did the SSS not invite Zahra Buhari (now Mrs Zahra Indimi) for her
hate speech? Why did the SSS not invite Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, Sultan of Sokoto, for his hateful and
inciting speech? Why has the SSS not invited Mallam Nasir El Rufai for his hate
speech that was even announced by SOKAPU?
We are appalled that the National Assembly of Nigeria has
not called the SSS to order as they engender tyranny and religious bigotry. Why
will the National Assembly keep quiet as the SSS allow those with Islamic
linkage to freely dish out hate speeches and incitements to commit violence
while inviting Christians like Apostle Johnson Suleiman who resort to
universally-acclaimed rights to self-defence? The indifference by Nigeria’s
National Assembly is a key reason why Africa, in general, and the black race,
in particular, are underdeveloped and filled with dictators and
life-presidents.
It is also very worrisome that Theresa May and her British
Government do not see anything wrong with the current persecution of Christians
in Nigeria. This is the same Theresa May who spoke through Boris Johnson to
plead for Christians implicated in the failed coup in Turkey. We also remind
the world that it was the British that brought Anglicanism to Nigeria but is
now working with Moslems to exterminate Christians. We also recall that
Catholicism came from Rome (Italy), Pentecostalism and Baptist Mission came
from the USA, the Lutheran church came
from Germany, and Presbyterian and Methodist missions came from Scotland. These
countries have their Embassies/Missions in Nigeria but have all kept silent as
Muslims go on a rampage against Christians, now culminating in the invitation
of Apostle Johnson Suleiman to SSS Headquarters in Abuja for questioning and
possible long-time detention.
With the silence of these countries, we are bound to ask if
they are only interested in the money they make from church members in
Christendom in Nigeria. Why must Muslims be the only people with the unfettered
license to hate speech and violence? Why
is the British Government so intensely glued to Islam and highly supportive of
their violent ways? What is is it in Islam that the British Government enjoys
that they are always supporting Islamic countries but working against existing
Judeo-Christian nations or those agitating for their nations such the Biafrans? Why is the British Government so
much in love and in bed with Islam and radical Islamism? Why will the British Government, a supposedly Christian
faith based Government, keep quiet and watch Apostle Johnson Suleiman
railroaded into the SSS detention cell, come Monday, January 30th, 2017?
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) call upon humanity to
prevail upon the British Government, who we all know dictate what happens in
Nigeria, to stop their anti-Christian behaviour towards Christians in Nigeria
and that they should request the SSS to call off the planned questioning and
detention of Apostle Johnson Suleiman. If there are people that should be
invited by the SSS with a view to questioning and detention for hate speeches,
they are Zahra Buhari-Indimi, Sultan of Sokoto (Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III), and
Mallam Nasir El Rufai. Doing otherwise is pure hypocrisy.
