Officers of the Lagos State Police Command are currently interrogating Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor and Founder of House on the Rock, following a viral video in which he was seen holding an object resembling a firearm.
According to a statement released by the Lagos Police Command on Tuesday, Adefarasin voluntarily appeared at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja.
“Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja and is currently being interrogated by detectives who have commenced investigation on the case since a video surfaced online showing the pastor holding a gun-like object against another road user, while driving in an unregistered vehicle,” the police statement read.
The command further assured the public that, “The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”
The incident came to public attention after a video began circulating widely on social media in recent days. The undated footage, which quickly went viral, appears to show a man identified as Pastor Adefarasin behind the wheel of an unregistered vehicle.
In the clip, he is seen involved in what looks like a heated exchange with another individual. During the confrontation, an object resembling a handgun can be seen in his hand, allegedly directed at the other road user.
