Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor of All House on the Rock Churches, was on Tuesday granted bail hours after he turned himself at the Lagos State Police Command for interrogation.
This was revealed via a statement the Police Command’s official X page.
The Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, also confirmed that the item recovered from Adefarasin was a stun gun.
“What was recovered from him, the gun-like object seen in the viral video, is not a lethal weapon or firearm, but a stun gun, which is a prohibited anti-riot equipment,”; the tweet read in part.
According to Hundeyin, they are still investigating the incident.
Adefarasin became the subject of controversy last week, after a video of him pointing an object which looked like a firearm at another road user, went viral.
Before his sermon days later, Adefarasin told his congregation that he was never in possession of a firearm, although he never confirmed what the device he held in the video was.
