He just arrived in Lagos and they detained him at the airport. He is politically targeted because some of his prophetic words have troubled the government in Nigeria,” Tobi said.

The cleric in question had been making predictions about the 2023 Nigerian elections and the outcomes.

Ahead of the elections, he urged Nigerians to vote for an “outsider”, noting that the 2023 electoral process will first produce Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as president-elect.

THE WHISTLER reached out to the DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunnaya, to confirm or deny the arrest.

“Why don’t you call the Pastor, pls.” Afunnaya responded.

When THE WHISTLER noted that Tomi’s brother alleged that the pastor was picked up by DSS operatives, Afunnaya insisted our correspondent reached the pastor directly instead “and not conclude with what a third party said or told you.”
