A photo depicting a clergyman dressed in a purple-and-white cassock with a rifle cradled in his arms has gone viral.
The photo was apparently taken in a church.
He appeared to have posed for the
camera, maintaining a sombre mien, close to an altar bedecked in white
and purple clothes and a pair of glasses sitting on it.
The picture was posted online by a Facebook user, Achike Onwuazo.
In the post, Onwuazo alluded to the priest’s readiness against any Boko Haram or herdsmen attack.
Onwuazo wrote, “Carry go, my blessed Rev. Father. He who is surrounded by his enemies (Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram) is always alert.

“That’s the latest way forward.”
Other Facebook users praised the priest for arming himself.
One Ayalogu Emmanuel called for the enactment of a law allowing civilians to use heavy firearms.
“Please, how can I get my own AK-47 rifle? The National Assembly should be thinking of passing a bill to legalise the use of machine guns,” he said.
