Outgoing Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, AIG Abutu Yaro, ordered the withdrawal of Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Auchi Division, CSP Ayodele Suleiman over the controversial death of one of the attackers of the President, Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman.

The suspect was reportedly arrested alive and handed over to the police after gunmen opened fire on the convoy of the cleric on Friday evening along the Benin–Auchi Road in Edo State.

Seven persons were confirmed killed during the attack including police orderlies as well as Suleman’s aides while the cleric narrowly escaped.

Speaking after the attack, the cleric described it as an assassination attempt and alleged that the gunmen weren’t kidnappers.

“People who did this expect me to come out, mention their names so that they come out and deny. I won’t do that.

“But the truth of the matter is this, you can’t kill me. My life is in the hands of God and those who are among those who are attacking me, you are building on what don’t understand….” the cleric had said.

In a statement on Saturday signed by the Edo Deputy Police Spokesman, Iwegbu Jennifer, the outgoing police commissioner in the state was said to have 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
