The Presiding Pastor of the House On The Rock Church, Uche Aigbe has been charged with unlawful possession of an AK-47 rifle.

This comes as a Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday, August 10, ruled that the Clegyman has a criminal case to answer for carrying the gun during a sermon at his church on Sunday, February 12, 2023.

Hub247News reports that the no-case submission made by the pastor was dismissed by Chief Magistrate Abubakar Ismail on the ground that the objection to trial lacked merit and substance.
