Senior Pastor Paul Adefarasin of the House on the Rock Church has been granted bail by the Lagos State Police Command after voluntarily turning himself in for interrogation over a viral video showing him holding a gun-like object.
The police investigation revealed that the object recovered from Adefarasin was not a firearm but a stun gun, classified as a prohibited anti-riot device.
Adefarasin turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday, following widespread speculation and concern over the video.
During the interrogation, he provided a cautionary statement and cooperated with detectives.
The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that the pastor has been granted bail while investigations into the incident continue.
In a statement, Adefarasin dismissed claims that he was brandishing a firearm, asserting that the object seen in the video was not a gun and that he didn’t point it at anyone. The police will make the outcome of the investigation public in due course.
