The church, located at 4 Adio Balogun Street, Fagba, Lagos State, said it was shocked over the arrest of its Chief Security Officer(CSO).

The pastor of the church wasn’t around when our correspondent visited the church, but one of the members, who spoke on the condition of anonymity said: “We don’t sell guns in our church! We employed Joel Ojo when he came to meet our General Overseer that he didn’t have work and needed a job to take care of his family two years ago.” It would be recalled that last week Tuesday, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, paraded four men, alleged to be armed robbers.

Two pump action rifles and two pistols were recovered from the suspects’ Honda Accord car. According to Owoseni, the suspects were arrested on September 28, 2015, at about 11pm during police ‘Stop and Search,’ at Abattoir, Agege. The police chief said that a police identity card was recovered from him. Ojo was alleged to be the leader of the gang.
