Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday cleared Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, of allegations of brandishing a firearm.
The controversy arose in June 2025 when a viral video appeared to show Adefarasin holding what looked like a handgun while driving, sparking speculation that he was pointing it at the TikToker filming the clip.
Adefarasin denied the claims, insisting the object was not a firearm.
In a statement, the police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the outcome of the investigation:
“A thorough investigation was conducted, during which the clergyman was interrogated and provided a cautionary statement. Findings revealed that the object in the viral footage was a stun gun, a non-lethal device. Consequently, there are no sufficient grounds to proceed, and the case is hereby discontinued,” Adebisi said.
