Civil Society Organization Renews Call for Arrest of Paul Enenche, Sarah Omakwu, others for National Security Threatening Acts
A civil society organization, Centre for Social and Economic Rights (CSER) has renewed it’s demand for the arrest and interrogation of Mr Paul Enenche the presiding pastor of Dunamis Christian Ministry for his recurring threats to our democracy and national security by lies, falsehood, misinformation and inciting messages and tweets which is condemnable and unacceptable.
According to the executive director of the organization Nelson Ekujumi via a press statement made public today 7th March 2023, the group lamented that, “We are pained, traumatized and demand to know why Mr. Enenche is being treated like a sacred cow who has unlimited and untouchable right to threaten our democracy and national security with comments, messages and tweets which are irresponsible, insensitive, reckless, provocative and a desecration of the Temple that he has turned into a political campaign platform for his political party candidate that lost in the recently successful and creditably conducted presidential election by INEC in which a winner has emerged in substantial compliance with the provisions of the electoral law”.
Nigeria operates a constitutional democracy in which even our elections are governed by laws and it behooves on whoever has submitted to participate in the process and their followers or supporters no matter where placed, to respect the laws of the land by complying with the process, rather than this campaign of blackmail, calumny, lies, falsehood, misinformation and Incitement to anarchy to threaten national security and topple a democracy because of personal political interest.
Recall that the Centre for Social and Economic Rights had on the 27th of February 2023 through a press statement made public, called for the arrest and interrogation of Paul Enenche by the DSS for threatening public law and order and democracy via his irresponsible, reckless and provocative viral message in his church on the 26th of February 2023 in reaction to the 2023 presidential election, but we are in a state of shock that this man and his likes are still being allowed to run riot with continued threats to our democracy and national security which is condemnable.
Sadly, Mr Paul Enenche of Dunamis Christian Ministry has been joined in the desecration of the temple, House of God and incitement to national security and democracy by one Sarah Omakwu of family worship center and other agents of anarchy elements who are daily engaged in acts that threaten national security and our humanity and needs to be arrested and made to face the law accordingly.
According to CSER, “This unchecked provocative and reckless threat to democracy and national security by anti democratic elements and agents of destabilization by the DSS and other security agencies, portends a grave danger not only to our democracy and national security, but also to our humanity which is at risk”.
Therefore, the Centre for Social and Economic Rights (CSER) is using this medium once again to call on the DSS to arrest, interrogate and prosecute according to law Mr Paul Enenche, Sarah Omakwu and their likes for incitement and acts that amount to attempt to truncate and topple our democracy and threaten law and order.
We also want it placed on record that Nigerians and the international community should hold the DSS responsible for any breakdown of law and order and toppling of our democracy that may result from it’s failure to arrest the threats to national security and democracy which is glaringly provocative and condemnable.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
E-signed.
Nelson Ekujumi,
Executive Director.
