Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have recovered six rifles from an uncompleted building on church premises in Asaba.

The resident pastor of the church, Fidelix Nwansa, was also arrested.

Nwansa, who is in charge of the Christ Holy Church, was nabbed for alleged gunrunning on the pretext of providing security for churches and hotels in the area alongside vigilante groups.

Confirming the incident, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Hafiz Inuwa, told journalists on Thursday that the pastor’s arrest was made by his men two days earlier during a mop-up operation.

The CP stated, “Some people from across the Niger have started or are bringing in vigilantes and criminals to Delta State in the name of providing security for churches and hotels, forgetting the fact that it is illegal to do that, because a vigilante from another state cannot come and operate in this state.

“Secondly, they are carrying sophisticated firearms. There is every indication that once they bring these people, they are also engaged in criminality. So, we have recovered six pump action rifles.”

Inuwa added that his operatives also arrested the head of a vigilante group, simply identified as Freeman.

According to the police boss, the vigilante head, who is from Anambra State, the same as the cleric, was brought to Delta State for a security job.

The CP said investigation led to the arrest of the resident pastor, who confessed that the recovered firearms belonged to the Anambra vigilante group.

if this information is true

happy sunday to you all

What?

I'm not surprised given the age-long Christian hypocrisy about it's love for peaceful coexistence

They have long been pretending about thier love for human life.
I'm just trying to imagine the outpour of hate that would since followed if this exact news had been reported about a mosque in northern Nigeria.

Which kain wahala be dis na

Your topic says they were found in a Church, body says they were found in an uncompleted building. Which one? A lady was raped in her home recently, the rapist broke the ceilings to enter, they lied it was inside a Church that the street was named after all in the name of looking for cheap likes like the one up there.
Another 30 pages of dragging the Church!
They were found with a guard who claims he is into security business. Why not call out the guard and prosecute him instead of mentioning the Church? Were they bought by the Pastor or Church? Do you know how they build in a lot of places due to shortage of lands? There are some places where buildings almost touch each other, in such places, you can't even build a fence. All of you will be in the same premises.


Modified; Story was manipulated from guard who said he is into security business to Niger Delta. That's the height of hypocrisy!

I'm sure that even lalasticlala would have since pushed to fp

The Church also supply Boko Haram with rifles? Abeg, enter buka, download something for belle! If you no get money, post your bank details, there are still some good Samaritans on Nairaland. The cheap likes you are looking for because nobody's noticing you on Nairaland, NOBODY will pay you for it. It is too early to early to wail!
Enter house joor!

Wonders shall never end.

Freeman indeed

Uncompleted building on Church premises

Uncompleted building on Church premises

Why was that not in the topic and why was the guard who claims he is into security business not mentioned in the topic, why did the topic say they were found INSIDE the Church? How many buildings are in the so-called premises.
That's how they lied a girl was raped in a church because the street was named after the Church.
You created a topic that they were found INSIDE a Church, the body read UNCOMPLETED BUILDING IN A CHURCH PREMISES then made a comment dragging Christianity. .
Check the comments up there including yours, that's the aim of the post, dragging The Church and Christianity, what exactly is your aim and where are pictures for back-up? .

NorthPrince:

Boko Haram is genuine, feel free to worship them.

God of men.... Imagine this armed robber pastor sef go get congregation shouting I receive it pastor, ride on pastor...

shut up and stop trying very hard to justify evil with this your well written craps!!

Both the churches and mosques in Nigeria have become criminal hide out for criminals and perverts.

Religious bigots like you are the reason pastors keep getting away with crimes.

They rape, they kill, and even scam their followers of their hard earned money and still get away with it just because of people like you "do my Prophet no harm"

Stop swimming in the ocean of hypocrisy!! Reason with your brain and stop allowing religious sentiments to cloud your sense of judgment!!

See as you jump into the thread to defend your pastor... Nairaland online Crusader!!

Let's conduct DNA in Nigeria and you'll be shocked that pastors are responsible for the 30% child birth in Nigerian homes

You'll be training a pastor's child thinking it's yours...

Remove religion from the heart of a black man and see the beauty of Africa

Free yourself from mental captivity!!

The truth is always bitter, how ever the fact is there for all with eyes to see.
Adolf Hitler was a Christian terrorist, but they hide it from the media.
Lord Resistance Army are Christian terrorist group killing in the name of Christ.
The crusaders killed millions in the name of Christ.
C.I.A & FBI are killing in the name of Christ & colonizing countries in the name of Christ, just like their European counter parts did during the scramble & partition of Africa with their missionaries.
