In the video that has since gone viral on social media, the suspect is seen moving around the auditorium while sprinkling a flammable substance believed to be kerosene or petrol on chairs and other items inside the church.
Moments later, parts of the auditorium were set ablaze, destroying several valuable church properties.

The church security team intervened immediately upon noticing the suspicious activity, containing the fire before it could spread further and endanger lives or cause extensive structural damage.
