Pastor Paul Adefarasin Released On Bail As Probe Progresses, Police Recover Evidence

Paul Adefarasin, Senior Pastor of all House on the Rock Churches, was granted bail on Tuesday, just hours after voluntarily appearing at the Lagos State Police Command for questioning.

According to a statement posted on the Command’s official X page, Police PRO CSP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that a stun gun was the item recovered from Adefarasin.

“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 tweet read in part.

Hundeyin stated that the investigation is still ongoing.

The controversy began last week after a viral video showed Adefarasin pointing what appeared to be a firearm at another road user.

In response, the pastor addressed his congregation days later, denying possession of a firearm but stopping short of clarifying what the object in question actually was.
