The Lagos State Police Command has recovered a stun gun from the senior pastor and founder of House on the Rock church, Paul Adefarasin.
The command disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
This was after the police interrogated Adefarasin over the viral video of him holding a gun-like object.
The command stated: “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 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 police noted that the pastor has been granted bail, while investigations continue into the case.
A viral video recently showed Pastor Adefarasin pointing a gun-like object at a content creator while driving in Lagos.
Adefarasin, while holding what looked like a pistol with his right hand, also warned the content creators against making a video of his car.
“Boss, boss, sorry sir, sorry sir,” the car spotter was heard in the video hailing Adefarasin, who drove away.
The pastor thereafter denied the allegations.
