Adefarasin had repeatedly denied owning a firearm after pointing the object at the car spotter, whom he described as an “aggressive content creator.“
The House on The Rock Church has reacted after police invited its senior pastor, Paul Adefarasin.
The church also denied police claim that the cleric’s stun gun is illegal.
The House on The Rock was reacting to a statement by the Police that they recovered an illegal stun gun from Adefarasin following the viral video of him brandishing the object to warn a car spotter to stop recording his car.
Adefarasin had repeatedly denied owning a firearm after pointing the object at the car spotter, whom he described as an “aggressive content creator.“
The church, in a statement on Wednesday, stated that Adefarasin was detained by the police for hours without charge on Tuesday.
House on The Rock Church berated the law enforcement agency for wrongly labelling Adefarasin’s stun gun illegal and urged the security operatives to act courteously and professionally.
The church added that its senior pastor will continue to cooperate with the police, adding that he will be exonerated of the allegation.
The statement read, “Pastor Paul was detained for several hours and released without charge. During that time, an official police tweet mis-labelled his strobe-light stinger—also known as a stun gun—as “prohibited anti-riot equipment.” Leading Nigerian lawyers advise that this description is incorrect in law.
“Pastor Paul continues to cooperate fully with the police investigation and is confident that, once the facts are reviewed, he will be exonerated of the allegation arising from the viral video.”
