<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://gistreel.com/tag/Lagos-State-Police"><strong>Lagos State Police</strong></a> Command has launched an investigation into <strong>Pastor Paul Adefarasin</strong>, the founder of House on the Rock Church, after a video surfaced showing him holding what appeared to be a <strong>stun gun</strong> during a roadside confrontation.</p>
<p>Following the video’s circulation on social media, Pastor Adefarasin voluntarily reported to the Command Headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday, where he was questioned by investigators.</p>
<p>According to a statement released by the police, the object in question was recovered and identified as a stun gun — a non-lethal, anti-riot device considered prohibited under Nigerian law.</p>
<p>During the interrogation, the clergyman provided a cautionary statement to law enforcement officials. Police emphasized that although the device was not a conventional firearm, it is still classified as illegal for civilian possession in Nigeria.</p>
<p><em>“The item recovered was a stun gun, not a firearm, but it remains a prohibited device under current regulations,”</em> the statement noted.</p>
<p>Pastor Adefarasin was granted bail shortly after the questioning, and the investigation remains ongoing.</p>
<p>The incident has sparked widespread discussion, following the viral video captured by a Lagos-based content creator known for filming luxury vehicles.</p>
<p>In the footage, Pastor Adefarasin is seen confronting another road user while brandishing the device, prompting public concern over the perceived threat.</p>
<p>Authorities have urged the public to remain calm as they continue their inquiry into the matter, assuring that due process will be followed.</p>
