Nigerians on Twitter have dared the Department of State Services (DSS) to heed the call of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the arrest of the Senior Pastor of Dunamis Church International, Paul Enenche.
Nigerians React To Call For Paul Enenche’s Arrest
The call was made by the APC PCC Special Adviser on Media and Strategic Communications, Dele Alake on Monday during a press conference.
The APC PCC also called on security agencies to arrest two spokespersons for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dino Melaye and Dele Momodu, for allegedly attempting to heat the polity through their utterances.
But following the call by the APC PCC for Paul Enenche’s arrest which has been trending on Twitter, Nigerians took to their various handles on the micro-blogging app to ask the secret police to do exactly what the ruling party asked it to do.
Most of the reactions dared the DSS to arrest the clergyman and await the consequences of such an action.
Below are some of the reactions:
“The moment they dare arrest Paul Enenche, it will be well written in history that APC were the ones that destroyed the country because the numbers of people that will hit the street protesting would make EndSars look like a walk in a park.”

“The call for the arrest of Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church and other Obidients by DSS from APC camp is laughable. Dear DSS, that step will end whatever remains to be protected, don’t even think about that Nigerians are watching you. #NigerianElections2023.”

“They can’t touch the prophet. They shouldn’t start what they can’t finish. We will defend our rights by speaking up. The fraud called election cannot stand and will never stand unless the right thing is done. No party will rig its way into power after seeing the open rejection.”
