Pastor critical of Buhari resists DSS arrest
Pastor Isa El-Buba who refused to be arrested by the State Security Services, SSS in Jos, Monday night said he didn’t honour the invitation by the agency because their action was illegal.
He said this in an interview with journalists in Jos on Tuesday.
According to him, a deputy director of the state service burst into his fellowship headquarters on Monday night while he was preparing for a midnight service.

He said refused to honour the invitation because, ”the invitation was not authorised in writing.”
“I demanded for a letter of invitation and was not given, so I became suspicious of their mission in the night to my office.”
The operatives, who came in two trucks made several attempts at his residence to pick him to Abuja under the cover of the night.
The cleric also said as far as he was concerned, he had done nothing wrong to warrant his arrest. He insisted that he would continue to preach good governance at all levels of government no matter the threats from security agencies.
El-Buba had criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of the herdsmen violence and called on his congregation to be ready to vote against the president in 2019.
Musa Asake, the general secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Tuesday also took a dig at Buhari over the Fulani herdsmen violence.
