Controversial cleric, Apostle Johnson Suleiman has been released by the Department of State Service (DSS) after hours interrogation.

Suleiman, who is the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, honoured the DSS invitation on Monday, January 30, as he showed up at the agency's headquarters in Abuja.

The pastor was invited for questioning over his directives that any Fulani herdsman who comes near his church should be killed.

He was said to have been accompanied to the DSS office by two Governors whose names were not revealed.

It was gathered that Suleiman arrived at  the office 7:45 pm, hours past the 10 am appointment the security agency gave him.

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State had last Wednesday foiled an attempt by some DSS operatives to arrest Suleiman at his hotel room in Ado Ekiti.

It was after the failed arrest that the agency asked the preacher to report to its office on Monday.
