The priest had allegedly threatened the lives of his parishioners who in return tipped off security operatives. The guns which were recovered from his private residence include a pump action rifle, one double-barrelled gun and a locally-made pistol.

According to DAILY POST, the problem started when after some armed robbers reportedly attacked the priest in his official residence and he openly accused some prominent citizens of the area of masterminding the robbery.
