Pastor Paul Adefarasin Granted Bail as Police Confirm Stun Gun Recovered After Viral Video

The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the recovery of a stun gun from popular televangelist and Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin.

This comes after a viral video surfaced showing the pastor pointing a gun-like object at another road user in Lagos. In response, Adefarasin was invited by the police for questioning and turned himself in on Tuesday at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja.

Providing an update, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, clarified that the object seen in the video was not a firearm but a stun gun, which is classified as a prohibited anti-riot device.

“Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in today 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 he volunteered a cautionary statement to police investigators,” Hundeyin stated via the Command’s official X handle.

He added, “What was recovered from him is not a lethal weapon or firearm but a stun gun, which is a prohibited anti-riot equipment. The pastor has been granted bail while investigations continue into the case.”

Pastor Adefarasin had earlier denied owning or using a gun during a Sunday service.
