It’s still at the centre of discussion — on Sunday, February 12th, 2023, Pastor Uche Aigbe appeared holding an AK-47 gun.
Police said on Monday that the church leader who carried an assault rifle during a Sunday sermon about “spiritual weapons” has been arrested.
Pastor Uche Aigbe earlier apologised “unreservedly”, according to his church — wrote the BBC.
He “realises that even with the best of intentions, carrying a gun to illustrate his message was ill-advised and regrettable,” the House on the Rock Church in Abuja said in a statement on Monday.
It also said: Quote Message: We stand on the good news gospel of Jesus Christ which embraces peace and goodwill for all of mankind.”We stand on the good news gospel of Jesus Christ which embraces peace and goodwill for all of mankind.”
On Sunday, February 12, Pastor Uche Aigbe said: “Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared,” he joked as he took to the pulpit brandishing an assault rifle.
Under Nigerian law, it’s only legal to carry a gun if the Inspector General of Police grants you a licence.
It’s not known whether the gun the pastor carried in the House on the Rock Church in Abuja belonged to him, or if the gun was loaded.
