Reacting to the controversial video, CSP Adejobi said he has forwarded it to the Commissioner of Police for the FCT, and they would commence investigation on the incident.

He added that the clergyman will have a case to answer if found guilty as civilians are not allowed to carry arms.

“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,” he tweeted.
