DSS Silent On UK-Based Nigerian Pastor, Wife Arrested At Airport

The Department of State Services has kept quiet over the arrest and detention of the founder, RIG Nation and Pioneer Church, United Kingdom, Tomi Arayomi, and his wife, Tema, by its operatives at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport on Friday.

Although the reason behind their arrest was unclear, sources stated 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.

Ahead of the elections, he urged Nigerians to “vote for an outsider,” noting that the 2023 electoral process would first produce Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress as president-elect, before things change.

Arayomi’s twin brother, Tobi revealed that his brother and wife had been released on Friday evening.
