Police begin investigation into firearm allegation against Adefarasin, detain cleric
The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in to answer for claims of brandishing a firearm.
The development was confirmed on Tuesday by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin.
According to the police spokesperson, if found guilty, Adefarasin will answer for allegedly threatening a content creator with a firearm as captured in a viral video.
The Command confirmed that Adefarasin was being interrogated over the video.
Hundeyin wrote, ”No one is above the law! Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, and is currently being interrogated by detectives.
“They have commenced an investigation into the case following the emergence of a video showing the pastor holding a gun-like object toward another road user while driving in an unregistered vehicle.
“The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”
Recall that the preacher had earlier denied the allegation that he was threatening the content creator with a firearm.
“You might be aware of a video circulating on social media showing me in what some have misunderstood as brandishing a firearm. I want to assure you that was certainly not a firearm, and at no point did I point such at anyone,” he stated during a Sunday Service.
