–Pix(above): Gun wielding Pastor Uche Aigbe on pulpit
Confusion reigned supreme in Abuja, Sunday, when the presiding pastor of the FCT branch of the House on the Rock, Pastor Uche Aigbe, caused a stir when he arrived the church and mounted the pulpit carrying an AK 47 rifle.
The incident which occurred during the church’s second service that usually records greater turn out of worshippers, left the congregation mouth agape, as they wondered whether it was a joke or kind of drama.
As the pastor made to open his Bible, he looked up and said teasingly, “Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared. “Today, there are some pastors with gift of divination who go about ripping people. This is why we should carry our ‘guns’ and defend ourselves. I will particularly be coming very soon for some of you sleeping in the church.”
With this explanation, the entire congregation into a volley of laughter as he continued preaching on “Guarding your hearts from false teachers” and “faith without work is dead.”
…Arrested and detained by police
Meanwhile, the Intelligence Response Team, Force Intelligence Bureau, Garki, Abuja has detained the presiding pastor of House on the Rock (Abuja chapter), Pastor Uche Aigbe, for carrying an AK-47 on the pulpit.
