A church leader who carried an assault rifle during a Sunday sermon about “spiritual weapons” has been arrested, police say.

The police officer who owned the gun has also been detained, along with the church’s head of security.

Pastor Uche Aigbe earlier apologised “unreservedly”, according to his church.

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.
