Pastor Uche Aigbe, the senior pastor of House on The Rock in Abuja, has been arrested by the police for bringing an AK-47 to the pulpit.
Aigbe was taken into custody by the Force Intelligence Bureau’s (FIB) Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
After a video went viral on social media, the police started an investigation.
On Sunday, the cleric is shown giving a sermon while toting a gun on his left shoulder.
It was gathered that one Inspector Musa Audu handed his service weapon to Aigbe. The officer will face an orderly room trial.
Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, Sadiq Abubakar wants Audu dismissed for the misconduct.
The CP has made a formal recommendation to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba.
The security agency is expected to provide an update on the matter.
