The Department of State Services, DSS, has kept mum following the arrest of the founder of RIG Nation and Pioneer Church, United Kingdom, Tomi Arayomi, and his wife, Tema, by its operatives at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos on Friday.
According to PUNCH, impeccable sources said that Arayomi was arrested for making “prophecies that are deemed to be inciting.”
A source said, “He was invited for questioning. He has been on our watchlist for some time now over his speeches; his prophetic speeches about the elections.”
Another source noted, “He was invited for questioning over some comments he made not long ago.”
Meanwhile, information gathered from his official Facebook page showed that Tomi was billed to be at his church branch in Abuja on Friday, April 7, for a programme.
Arayomi, ahead of the elections, urged Nigerians to “vote for an outsider,” noting that the 2023 electoral process would first produce Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC as president-elect, before things change.
His twin brother, Tobi Arayomi, also hinted on the development via his Instagram page, @tobiarayomi, on Friday.
According to Tobi, his brother was apprehended by DSS operatives for alleged politics-related prophecies he made.
Meanwhile, Tobi, posting their photos, later revealed that his brother and wife had been released on Friday evening.
“@tomiarayomi and @tahmar.india are out. Thank you all for your prayers,” Tobi posted on Instagram.
Meanwhile, when the DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunnaya, was contacted concerning the development, he asked that the pastor be contacted, PUNCH reports.
Afunnaya said, “What did the pastor tell you? Have you called the pastor and he told you he was abducted or arrested?”
