The Commander of Klagon DSP K. Dogbe confirmed the arrest and indicated that investigations are ongoing.
According to the police, Daniel Alabi, the leader of the land guards, has also been arrested and arraigned before court for assault.
The violence by the group, which was captured on video, has Alabi leading the gang onto the church premises wielding machetes, stones and clubs.
