Adefarasin Granted Bail Following Stun Gun Incident

The Lagos State Police Command has granted bail to Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, following an investigation into a viral video showing him holding what appeared to be a gun-like object during an encounter with a content creator.

Pastor Adefarasin voluntarily turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday and was subsequently interrogated.

In a statement, the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that the object in question was not a firearm but a stun gun, a non-lethal device classified as prohibited anti-riot equipment.

“Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in 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 has provided a cautionary statement to police investigators,” Hundeyin stated.

He added: “The object seen in the viral video has been confirmed to be a stun gun. While it is not a lethal weapon or firearm, it falls under the category of prohibited anti-riot equipment.”

Pastor Adefarasin has since been granted bail as investigations into the incident continue.
