TRIXX NG reports that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Auchi Division, CSP Ayodele Suleiman has been withdrawn over the controversial death of one of the attackers of the President, Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman.

According to reports, the suspect was arrested alive and handed over to the police.

Recall the gunmen opened fire on the convoy of the cleric on Friday evening along the Benin–Auchi Road in Edo State which led to the death of seven persons while the cleric narrowly escaped.

Police had claimed that the suspect was shot dead after a gun battle while others escaped with bullet wounds.

“One of the kidnappers that was caught today (Friday) while the DPO, CSP Ayodele Sulaiman, led the operation along Iyewe-Auchi Road, and after a gun battle, this one (suspect) was gunned down while others escaped with bullet wounds. Bush combing is ongoing.” a policeman said in a now viral video.

However, another viral video showed the moment a police officer opened fire on the suspect, a voice said to be that of an eyewitness said, “I like this policeman, you’re doing your job”

 

 

The cleric has also come out to say that the attack was an assassination attempt and alleged that the gunmen weren’t kidnappers.

The Apostle blasted the police for killing the only suspect that was arrested while noting that they are trying to cover up traces to make investigations futile.

“Lies…there weren’t kidnappers… He was caught and handed over and the police killed him immediately…Why killing him on the spot? Who is trying to cover up traces?” the preacher asked.

 

In a statement on Saturday, the outgoing police Commissioner of Police in Edo State, AIG Abutu Yaro, ordered the immediate withdrawal of the DPO for debriefing.

 

“As part of the measures of the Command concerning the circumstances that led to the death of one of the surviving members of the monstrous gang that attacked the convoy of Apostle Johnson Suleiman, General overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, the outgoing CP now AIG Abutu Yaro fdc has ordered the withdrawal of CSP Ayodele Suleiman, DPO Auchi for debriefing at the State Headquarters with immediate effect,” said the statement signed by Edo police spokesman, Iwegbu Jennifer.

 

“Meanwhile, members of the Public are urged to remain calm and patient as no stone would be left unturned to unearth the circumstances surrounding it.”
