The Lagos State Police Command has granted bail to Senior Pastor Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock Church, just hours after he willingly turned himself in for questioning. CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command’s public relations officer, revealed this on the command’s official X page.
Hundeyin claims that the object found in Adefarasin was a stun gun, which is a forbidden anti-riot weapon rather than a handgun.
The post read: “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.
“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.”
Hundeyin added that the pastor has been granted bail while investigations into the incident continue.
