The Benue State Police Command, yesterday, arrested the pastor of a new generation church in Katsina-Ala (names withheld) for illegal possession of fire arms and assault on the church’s accountant.
Sources revealed that the pastor was apprehended with the firearm by men of the Benue State Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, in Katsina-Ala where he allegedly tried to kill the accountant of the church, Mr. Philip Toryila, during a serious disagreement over money. According to the source, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the pastor ordered the church accountant to handover church monies to him for execution of a project and he refused. The refusal of the accountant angered the pastor who engaged him in a fracas and in the process pulled out a gun on the accountant. In the process, the accountant shouted for help which attracted the attention of another church official who alerted the police and they quickly drafted some armed men of the squad to the place and arrested the pastor. The source added that “the accountant sustained a major facial injury and other parts of his body and was quickly rushed to a private hospital in Katsina-Ala where is now receiving treatment. Confirming the story, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Deputy Superintendent of Police Daniel Ezeala, said,The arrested pastor was brought to the state command and he will soon be charged to court for illegal possession of firearms but we are still conducting investigations into the matter

Love of money is the root of all evil. Although i know the so called pastor was carrying gun cos of Boko Idiots who invades churches with bombs looking for blood of the worshipers to suck. Atleast before they kill him; he would kill them first. But i did not support his action towards the church member

For a pastor to carry gun is Illegal and ungodly but in other way it is for defence how about pastor caring gun to defend himself from Bokoharam as they were targets and I believe this is his main reason of caring gun but he made a wrong use of it by pointing gun to an ordinary church member .
