The Lagos State Police Command has revealed the outcome of its grilling session with televangelist and Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, disclosing that a stun gun was recovered from the renowned preacher.

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement posted on the command’s official X handle on Wednesday.

“Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in on Tuesday 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 cautionary statement to the 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. The pastor has been granted bail while investigations continue into the case.” Hundeyin wrote while giving an update on the pastor’s interrogation.

Recall that it was widely reported that Adefarasin was quizzed on Tuesday by detectives from the Lagos State Police Command over a viral video where he was seen pointing a gun-like object against another road user in Lagos.

The Televangelist turned himself in at the State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja.

Adefarasin had earlier, during a Sunday service, denied having a gun.
