The Lagos State Police have cleared Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, of any misconduct following a viral video in which he appeared to be holding a firearm.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, police spokesperson Abimbola Adebisi explained that Adefarasin willingly presented himself at the Ikeja police headquarters for questioning.

Further investigations determined that the object in the video was actually a stun gun, not a deadly weapon.

“After a thorough investigation, including interrogation and a cautionary statement from Pastor Adefarasin, it was established that the object in question was a stun gun and not a lethal weapon or firearm.

“Consequent to our findings, the Lagos State Police Command has determined that there are no sufficient grounds to proceed with the matter. The case is hereby discontinued,” the statement read.

The command added that it remains committed to transparency in its operations while upholding the rule of law and ensuring public safety.
