The Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into Pastor Paul Adefarasin following a viral video that allegedly shows him brandishing a firearm.
Police spokesperson SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that the prominent cleric voluntarily presented himself to the authorities and is currently assisting in their investigation. "He is cooperating fully, and interrogation is ongoing," Hundeyin stated.
In response to the allegation, Pastor Adefarasin has firmly denied the claim, describing the object in question as not a firearm. He labelled the incident as a "mischief," dismissing the viral footage as misleading and aimed at discrediting him.
The police have assured the public that a thorough inquiry will be conducted to establish the facts surrounding the incident, urging restraint in public commentary while the investigation continues.
