Police officer in uniform spotted preaching the gospel

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a policeman was captured in a video preaching the gospel in uniform.

The young officer was preaching salvation through Christ Jesus as the source of true prosperity, safety, and wealth.

Speaking with a microphone, the gallant-looking policeman declared that whoever is a follower of God must depart from all sorts of evil.

He quoted from the Bible book of John 3:3 and 2 Timothy 2: 19-21.

Naturally, the boldness of the policeman caused a stir on social media as many encouraged him while others felt he should not have preached in uniform, even going as far as saying it's all a charade.
