The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the recovery of a stun gun from popular televangelist and Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin
Pastor Adefarasin was interrogated on Tuesday at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja after a viral video showed him pointing a gun-like object at another road user in Lagos.
Following the circulation of the video, the pastor was invited by the police and voluntarily turned himself in for questioning.
Providing an update, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the object seen in the video was not a firearm but a stun gun—a prohibited anti-riot device.
“Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in today at the Lagos State Police Command over a viral video where he was seen holding a gun-like object against another road user, was interrogated and he volunteered a cautionary statement to the police investigators,” Hundeyin said via the command’s official X handle.
“What was recovered from him, the gun-like object seen in the viral video, is not a lethal weapon or firearm but a stun gun which is a prohibited anti-riot equipment. The pastor has been granted bail while investigations continue into the case,” he added.
Pastor Adefarasin had previously denied possessing a gun during a Sunday church service.
