The Centre for Social and Economic Rights (CSER) has called
for the arrest of Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International
Gospel Centre, for his “inciting message” on the collation of the presidential
election results.
In a statement issued on Monday by Nelson Ekujumi, its
executive director, the group said the messages are a “threat to national peace
and security”.
On February 26, in his sermon to congregants, Enenche had
decried the involvement of “human
demons” and their “lunatic agents” in the disruption of a peace election in
some states.
Ekujumi described the message as “irresponsible,
insensitive, reckless and provocative”.
He said the group is “disturbed and frowns at the
provocative and reckless message of incitement being unleashed on hapless
Nigerians by Paul Enenche and others of like minds with the intention to cause
a disruption of public peace and order for personal political advantage which
is condemnable”.
“We are shocked and condemn in strong terms the double
standards that is being openly displayed by the DSS who invited an APC campaign
council media director Chief Femi Fani-Kayode for questioning over comments
termed as a threat to national security while they seem to be looking the other
way at this brazen effontery of Pastor Paul Enenche against the constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Ekujumi added.
“Therefore, as we await the announcement of final results
and declaration of winners of the 2023 general elections at the national
collation centre in Abuja, we are demanding the immediate arrest and
prosecution of Paul Enenche for comments that are capable of disrupting public
peace, truncating, and toppling our
democracy which amounts to treason under the constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.”
