AK-47: Police arrest Abuja pastor, recommend Inspector's firing

The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, Sadiq Abubakar, has recommended to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to dismiss Inspector Musa Audu, who will face an orderly room trial for handing over his rifle to the Presiding Pastor, House on the Rock, Abuja Chapter, Uche Aigbe, on Sunday, The PUNCH exclusively reports.

Our correspondent observed that Inspector Audu and Pastor Aigbe were held by the Intelligence Response Team, Force Intelligence Bureau, Garki, Abuja, on Monday.

The PUNCH claims that Aigbe caused a commotion on Sunday when he mounted the pulpit with an AK-47 weapon during the second session, which often draws a large crowd from around the FCT.

The preacher confidently walked the pulpit with a rifle, and many of his church members wondered why.

Aigbe approached the pulpit without glancing at his congregation, mindful of the tension he had generated.

The preacher teased, "Some folks are seeking for my trouble," as he tried to open his Bible. I came ready.
