Bashir Ahmad Urges Arrest of Controversial Pastor over AK-47 Comment

Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has called on relevant security agencies to take immediate action over a disturbing viral video in which a Nigerian pastor, Pastor Jemimah David, allegedly urged youths to arm themselves with AK-47 rifles and other dangerous weapons for self-defense.

The video, which has caused widespread concern, shows the cleric addressing her congregation, reportedly encouraging them to arm themselves in the face of insecurity in the country.

According to Daily Post Nigeria, Ahmad, in a tweet, condemned the pastor’s comments and called on the relevant authorities to arrest and prosecute her.

This incident comes amidst increasing concerns about the use of violent language by religious leaders in Nigeria, particularly in the context of growing insecurity in various parts of the country.

Ahmad’s call for action highlights the need for stricter regulation of religious leaders’ speech, especially when it incites violence or undermines peace and security.
