On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, eyewitness accounts and a video showed a woman allegedly attempting to set the church's auditorium on fire.
The incident occurred during the day when church activities were minimal, a factor that may have prevented a much more devastating outcome.
In the video that has since gone viral on social media, the suspect was 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, and swift action by the church security team proved crucial.
Following her arrest by the security personnel, the female suspect was handed over to the police for further investigation.
Hours after the near-tragic incident, the police commenced an investigation to establish a motive behind the alleged suspect's actions.

Background of alleged church arsonist emerges
In a video he shared on his Blakk Empire Media page on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Blakk Rasta claimed to know the real name of the suspect behind the attack at the Alpha Hour church.
However, the radio presenter chose to keep the woman's real identity out of the public space due to the ongoing police investigations into the attempted incident at the church.
According to Blakk Rasta, the suspect, who suffered some burns from the incident, had been a longtime member of the Grace Mountain church and was present at the beginning of its founding.

The 3FM presenter claimed that his alleged sources indicate that the woman grew impatient due to not achieving the results she had wanted from being part of the Alpha Hour movement and decided to leave the church.
He alleged that the suspect also had small arguments with people due to not getting a promotion in the church, which got members intervening in the matter.
The woman allegedly quit Grace Mountain Ministry with anger and bitterness a while ago and decided to set the church ablaze after its members multiplied and it gained massive recognition.
