Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin has been interrogated by police in Lagos after turning himself in at the state police command headquarters, Ikeja.
Spokesman of the command, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the development on Tuesday.
Adefarasin faced intense criticism on social media penultimate week after a face-off with a content creator.
In a video that went viral, the senior cleric was seen telling off the content creator, who had hailed him.
During the brief encounter, Adefarasin also flashed a black object, which some social media users speculated was a firearm.
But in a message posted on his social media handles, the pastor denied that the object was a firearm.
He further explained that the controversial encounter was a misunderstanding, while promising to speak further on the matter during Sunday service.
The Lagos police spokesman, Hundeyin stated that the command would thoroughly investigate the incident and make its findings public.
He said, ”No one is above the law! Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, and is currently being interrogated by detectives.
“They have commenced an investigation into the case following the emergence of a video showing the pastor holding a gun-like object toward another road user while driving in an unregistered vehicle.
“The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”
