Uche Aigbe, a Pastor at House on the Rock, Abuja, is facing the music of his action as he is currently in custody after he was seen with a gun in a church.
He was detained at FCT Police Command in the anti-crime unit on Monday alongside the policeman whom he rented the gun he strapped.
“He and the police officer have been taken to his house for a search. They were handcuffed and taken away,” the police source was quoted to have said.
The minister caused a stir during the Sunday service when he came to the pulpit with AK-47 riffle.
“Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared. Today, there are some pastors with the gift of divination who go about ripping people off. This is why we should carry our ‘guns’ and defend ourselves. I will particularly be coming very soon for some of you sleeping in the church,” he said.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, had responded to the incident adding that the pastor is not allowed to hold a gun.
“But if its true, the pastor will have a case to answer. AK47??. It falls under prohibited Firearms in Nigeria, and no one bears it except an officer of the law, and not all of them have the right, selected sec operatives, but no individual has the right to bear it.
“The FCT police command will investigate it, i trust the new CP FCT, CP Sadiq,.. its shocking,” he wrote.
