The Lagos State Police Command has exonerated the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, after a stun gun video involving him went viral.
The command, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed that Pastor Adefarasin voluntarily presented himself at the state police headquarters in Ikeja for questioning.
“After a thorough investigation, including interrogation and a cautionary statement from Pastor Adefarasin, it was established that the object in question was a stun gun and not a lethal weapon or firearm,” the statement said.
Following its findings, the police declared that there were no grounds for further action against the cleric.
