Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the public relation officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), said the Abuja pastor pictured with an AK-47 rifle has a case to answer.
The police PRO in a tweet also warned that bearing sophisticated firearms like AK-47s is solely the responsibility of the security officers.
Ikejabird recalls that Pastor Uche Aigbe, a presiding pastor of the Abuja chapter of the House on the Rock Church, caused a stir on Sunday, February 12, when he mounted the pulpit with the rifle.
His appearance caused a commotion as the congregation wondered what message the pastor was trying to pass with the dangerous rifle.
He approached the congregation teasingly: “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.”
