The Lagos State Police Command has cleared Pastor Paul Adefarasin of any wrongdoing following a viral video that appeared to show him holding a firearm.
Pastor Adefarasin, who is the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, had voluntarily presented himself at the Command Headquarters in Ikeja for questioning after the clip sparked public debate.
Police investigations, which included interrogation and a cautionary statement, revealed that the object seen in the video was not a firearm but a stun gun.
According to Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, the findings showed no grounds to press charges. “The case is hereby discontinued,” Adebisi said in a statement issued on behalf of the Commissioner of Police.
The Command reiterated its commitment to upholding the rule of law, ensuring public safety, and maintaining transparency in its investigations.
