“Out of concern for my young children and my wife’s well being, we made the unfortunate decision to leave Nigeria abruptly,” says Pastor Tomi Arayomi via his Instagram account.
Apostle Arayomi who’s the founder of the RIG Nation and Pioneer Church, United Kingdom (UK), was arrested and detained by the operatives of Department of State Services (DSS) on Friday at a Lagos Airport but was released after few hours.
The preacher who made some prophecies about the just concluded 2023 presidential election said he won’t be making further revelations about their Interrogations because his aide, Emmanuel Ezerika is still with the secrete police.
His statement reads:
Prophetess Tahmar and I would like to express our gratitude for all your prayers and international support during Fridays ordeal with The DSS. We can confirm that on Good Friday 7th April we arrived at Abuja to visit one of our branches when we were picked up by about 6 armed agents who did not identify themselves as DSS or any law enforcement agency.
My wife, myself and my aide Emmanuel Ezerika were forced to surrender our mobile phones and enter the vehicles where we were taken at considerable speed to what we later learned were DSS HQ. The officers, some of who wore balaclavas were not immediately recognisable as DSS.
Our pictures were taken, finger prints and data collected and we were locked inside a room with no real knowledge as to the grounds for our arrest. After a lengthy interrogation, it appears media and social media pressure forced DSS to release my wife and I. My aide still remains under DSS custody and thus far, DSS have been elusive as to his exact whereabouts.
We will not divulge the particulars of the investigation at this point as we are still awaiting the safe release of my aide.
Out of concern for my young children and my wife’s well being, we made the unfortunate decision to leave Nigeria
