The Senior Pastor of the House on the Rock Church in Lagos, Paul Adefarasin, is currently being interrogated by the Lagos State Command for flashing a gun-like object in a video that went viral recently.
On June 6, 2025, the pastor rolled down his vehicle’s tinted glass and could be seen holding what looked like a pistol with his right hand and muttering some inaudible words that got the car spotter apologising profusely for filming his car.
“Boss, boss, sorry sir, sorry sir,” the car spotter was heard in the video hailing Adefarasin, who drove away.
After the viral video, the pastor denied allegations suggesting he brandished a firearm.
“You might be aware of a video circulating on social media showing me in what some have misunderstood as brandishing a firearm. I want to assure you that was certainly not a firearm, and at no point did I point such at anyone,” he stated.
In the latest development, the Command confirmed that Adefarasin was being interrogated over the video.
The Command Spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said, “No one is above the law. Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, and he’s 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.”
