The State Security Service (SSS) on Monday, January 16, moved to arrest a clergyman after instructing his church members to vote out President Muhammad Buhari for “failing” Nigerians.
Premium Times reports that the attempt by SSS to arrest Isa El-Buba, founder of EBOMI ministries, was foiled by the officials of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
NAIJ.com gathered that effort of the CAN officials, led by its north central chairman, Yakubu Pam, almost degenerated into a clash between the SSS operatives and local youth in Jos.
Pam said that CAN had intervened and restored peace but did not disclose why the SSS attempted to arrest El-Buba.
He said the director general of SSS in Abuja told him to interact with El-Buba and report back to him.
However, a close source to the pastor said the SSS was after El-Buba following his comments on the recent killings in Benue state.
El-Buba reportedly blamed President Buhari for the Benue killings and called on his church members to not to vote for the president in 2019.
