The priest is seen with his Ak47 rifle strapped to his shoulders as he carries out his ministry to his congregation.

Some Nigerians reacting to the photo have commended the clergy man for being alert in church.

Others however, faulted the priest for carrying a gun in church.

They said the priest lacked the courage to believe that God can fight his battles.

Another group suggested that carrying guns to places of worship could help reduce insecurity in the country.
