The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has called on security agencies to provide Nigerians with an update on the action taken against Pastor Uche Aigbe, who reportedly brandished an AK-47 rifle during a church service at the House on the Rock Church in Abuja on Sunday, February 12th, 2023.
Following his arrest and subsequent arraignment in court, MURIC Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, expressed concern that Nigerians had heard nothing about the case, prompting suspicions that it had been swept under the carpet.
βAn Abuja pastor, Uche Aigbe, brought an AK-47 rifle to his House on the Rock Church on Sunday, 12th February, 2023. By so doing, he caused a stir not only inside the church but nationwide. Although he was later arrested by the police and arraigned in court, Nigerians did not hear anything about the matter afterwards,β he observed.
The demand for an update on the case is likely to increase pressure on security agencies to keep the public informed of the case’s progress and outcome, further highlighting the importance of maintaining transparency in high-profile cases.
