Isa El-Buba, general overseer of
the Evangelical Outreach Ministries International, says he is not scared of the
Department of State Services (DSS).
Operatives of the DSS were said
to have attempted to invade the residence of the cleric on Monday night but
youths in Jos rebuffed the operation.
El-Buba said he was summoned by
the DSS for criticising President Muhammadu Buhari in his New Year’s message.
Speaking with journalists on
Tuesday, El-Buba maintained that the inherent unrighteousness in the country
would do no one any good.
“I demanded for a letter of
invitation and was not given, so I became suspicious of their mission in the
night,” the cleric said.
“What transpired was that the DSS
invaded my house and my church premises and wanted to have me on Monday night
“They came in their number,
including a deputy director to arrest me in connection with the cross-over
night broadcast I made to Nigerians.
“I stand by my words. I am
neither scared nor intimidated by their invasion. Why should I be scared when I
am saying the truth?
“Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin brings reproach. I said in my broadcast that the unrighteousness in
Nigeria will not do any one of us any good and I stand by it.
“This is because our generation
and generations yet unborn will suffer if we refuse to do the right thing.
Nigeria is a great nation, but we must uphold righteousness to be able to stand
among great nations.
“So, I have just said that the
right thing should be done in our nation, and I do not have anything against
anyone.”
