Paul Adefarasin is back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not for a sermon. The House on the Rock founder recently faced serious backlash after a viral video led to claims that he pointed a gun at a popular car content creator in Lagos.
The buzz online quickly turned into police action. Pastor Paul Adefarasin showed up at the station, where he was questioned for hours. Afterward, police said they found a stun gun on him, calling it a banned anti-riot device. That statement got fans and critics talking.
The founder of House on the Rock Ministries is seen in his car holding the stun gun device in question.
But the church wasn’t having it. House on the Rock released a statement on social media, saying the item wasn’t a weapon. According to them, it was a strobe-light device, not a stun gun. They said the police misidentified it, and legal experts agree.
“We are grateful to everyone who has expressed concern… Pastor Paul was detained for several hours and released without charge,” the church said.
Adefarasin also responded during a sermon. He said he doesn’t own a gun and never pointed one at anyone. He called the entire situation hurtful and said it was shocking to see how fast things escalated online.
Despite all the drama, he’s cooperating with the investigation. The church made it clear he respects the law and hopes for a fair review of the situation.
For now, the pastor is staying calm, and his supporters believe the truth will clear his name.
