He was also with another man holding what police have since said was a replica gun.

In the video, Mboro can be seen swinging a panga at those trying to get close to him.

One of the people at the burning church, Carly Dikolo, said all that could have been prevented if Mboro “had properly handled things”.

“Look now he lost his church all because he entered the school with weapons when it's clear one should not do it, especially when there’s a sign saying no weapons.

“Now the school is closed and the children don’t want to go to school because of that violence. This could have been handled entirely differently,” Dikolo said.

Papi Kaunda said the church being on fire was justice playing out.

Kaunda said what Mboro did was “disgusting and we welcome this burning”.

Police have since confirmed that four men are in custody but that Mboro was not one of them.
