An Abuja pastor has stirred up conversations in what he termed ‘preparation’ against any unfortunate incident that could suffice within the church during service.
The presiding pastor of the Abuja chapter of the House on the Rock, Pastor Uche Aigbe, On Sunday, mounted the pulpit carrying an AK 47 rifle during the recurring Sunday service.
It was gathered that the incident took place during the second service and it came as huge surprise to the congregation.
As per the PUNCH report, brandishing the AK 47 rifle , the pastor picked his way to the altar as many members of his congregation exchanged glances trying to understand what was happening.
An unflinching Aigbe walked up to the lectern, aware of the tension his action had created, without looking at his worshippers.
But as he made attempt to open his Bible, the preacher looked up and said teasingly, “Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared.

“Today, there are some pastors with the 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.”
His response threw the entire gathering into a fit of laughter as he continued preaching on “Guarding your hearts from false teachers” and “faith without work is dead.”
It was, however, not known if the gun he brandished was loaded or not.
