After the rather embarrassing incident, the cleric disclosed that the attacker just got out of a rehabilitation home.

Adams said this might be a case of relapse because the man in question seemed not to know where he was at the time.

He added that the individual was in tears after other members succeeded in calming him, and revealed that he will be returning to the rehab soon.
