The presiding Pastor of House on the Rock Abuja Chapter, Uche Aigbe, wielding an AK-47 rifle during a sermon has been arrested by the police.

According to a report by the Punch, the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory Command, Sadiq Abubakar, recommended that a police officer, Inspector Musa Audu, be dismissed for handing over his rifle to Pastor Aigbe. The Inspector is facing an internal disciplinary trial.
