The Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday, cleared the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, of a firearm allegation

In June 2025, Adefarasin was seen in a viral clip, brandishing what appeared to be a handgun while driving in traffic.

It led to speculations that the cleric was pointing a firearm at the TikToker who made the video.

However, Adefarasin denied the allegation, claiming that the object was not a firearm.

In a statement, the Command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, cleared Adefarasin of the allegations.

“A thorough investigation was conducted, during which the clergyman was interrogated and provided a cautionary statement.

“Findings revealed that the object seen in the viral footage was not a firearm but a stun gun, a non-lethal device.

“Consequent on our findings, the command has determined that there are no sufficient grounds to proceed with the matter.

“The case is hereby discontinued,” Adebisi said.
