Police Arrests House On The Rock Pastor For Bearing Ak-47 Rifle While Preaching In The Church

Pastor Uche Aigbe of House on the Rock in Abuja has been detained by the Intelligence Response Team of the Force Intelligence Bureau, Garki, for carrying an AK-47 while giving a sermon on February 12 in the church.

When Aigbe entered the church on Sunday holding the firearm in his hand, he raised a commotion.

The firearm was given to him by one Inspector Musa Audu when he was on duty in the church, according to a probe launched by the FCT police headquarters this morning.

 When interrogated, Audu told the police that he only offered the weapon to Pastor Aigbe because he wanted to use it for illustration.

The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, Sadiq Abubakar, has made a recommendation to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to dismiss Inspector Audu.
