The police on Tuesday said they are investigating Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin over the gun-like object he held in a viral video that sparked reactions from the public.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Command said the preacher turned himself in and he was being interrogated over what he held in the video and his unregistered Range Rover.

The statement read, “No one is above the law! Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja and is currently being interrogated by detectives who have commenced investigation on the case since a video surfaced online showing the pastor holding a gun-like object against another road user, while driving in an unregistered vehicle. The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”

Last week, Peoples Gazette reported how Mr Adefarasin, who is also the convener of Xperience, a worship concert, pulled out a pistol-like object, warning a car spotter to stop recording his unregistered Range Rover.

Mr Adefarasin had repeatedly denied owning a firearm and pointing such at the car spotter, who he described as an “aggressive content creator.”

The cleric was criticised by Nigerians on social media, who asked him to tell the public what he held or show what he held as evidence to support his denial.
