According to him, the DSS are pressuring him to sign a document which will claim the accusation is false, portraying him as a liar and blackmailing the Nigerian church.

Speaking in Kaduna on Thursday, The Borno cleric however stuck to his guns, insisting that the bribe allegation was true.

“They forced me to sign and promise to link me up with the CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, for us to ‘settle’,” he said

The cleric noted that all these were in addition to pleas from other Christian leaders, especially the Abuja CAN Chairman, for him to deny that the Christian body collected the said N7 billion.

According to him, since he broke the news, his life had been under threat.

Dikwa explained that as soon as he finished addressing newsmen on the alleged bribe, the DSS invited him to its headquarters in Abuja and asked him to say that CAN did not collect a kobo from the President.

The cleric said, “The DSS invited me to their office in Abuja. They wanted to know who gave me the information that CAN collected N7bn from Jonathan and I told them.

“They said all the people I mentioned will be invited. I told them to go ahead and invite them. I even told them how the money was distributed.

“They also said they wanted to know whether the opposition All Progressives Congress was the one sponsoring me to tarnish the image of the CAN and even mention Sam Nda-Isaiah (publisher of the Leadership) and I told them my relationship with him is not political, because since 2006, I have been with him. I told them he (Sam) does not know anything about my revelation on the said money.

“They also asked me what my connection was with the APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and I told them there is nothing that connect us. I told them whatever I said was done for the love of my country.

“After sometime, they drafted a letter which said, ‘I, Pastor Musa… the information I gave that the President gave CAN money was false and that I won’t do that again.’

“They said I should copy what they wrote in my own hand writing. I have to do it because I was alone with them and I felt they could harm me and frame me up.

“They forced me to sign after writing what they drafted. I wanted to refuse but I feared for my life.”
