A popular Pentecostal pastor in Abuja Uche Aigbe, who was seen in a viral video hanging an AK-47 rifle on his shoulders, while preaching at his church, House on the Rock, last Sunday has been arrested by the Nigerian Police.
He was detained alongside one Inspector Musa Audu who handed the AK-47 to him for the purpose of illustrating his sermon on the pulpit.
Mr Aigbe and Audu are in the custody of the Intelligence Response Team, Force Intelligence Bureau, Garki, Abuja, it was learnt.
Inspector Audu now faces dismissal for his indiscretion as he will be facing an orderly room trial for handing over his rifle to the man of God.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, Sadiq Abubakar, has recommended the dismissal of the Inspector for handing his rifle to the pastor to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.
Mr Aigbe, who is the Presiding Pastor of House on the Rock, Abuja Chapter, mounted the pulpit, carrying an AK 47 rifle on Sunday to illustrate how Christians should guard their faith.
He preached with the gun during the second service, which frequently has a high turnout of the congregation.
