‘People of Benue, it’s time to defend yourselves’ – Apostle Suleman

The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Auchi, Edo State, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has called on the people of the state to rise in self-defence, following the persistent herdsmen attacks on the communities.

In a post on his verified Facebook page, Suleman berated the federal government for what he described as inaction and a failed security architecture in the face of ongoing bloodshed in Benue and other parts of the country.

“If the federal govt knows it’s overwhelmed or its security architecture has failed, they should be humble enough to tell the citizens… Self-defence is enshrined in the constitution.. I said it when I went to Jos and Benue.. we can’t watch this continue.”

“PEOPLE OF BENUE, DEFEND YOURSELF.. What is happening in Benue state is evil, barbaric and a mayhem..,” he wrote.

The cleric also took a swipe at politicians who he said are more focused on the 2027 elections than the urgent security needs of the people.

“It’s ridiculous that people are thinking of 2027 whilst mayhem is being unleashed in 2025 on citizens they are supposed to govern.. what happened to your humanity? “There was a country…”
