The Police in Lagos State have provided further updates in a case involving a popular Nigerian Pastor, Paul Adefarasin.
It could be recalled that a viral video had captured the pastor pointing a gun-like object at another Nigerian, in what was considered an intimidation.
Many Nigerians reacted angrily, urging the police to take action and not to treat it with levity.
It has now been confirmed by the Lagos State Police Command that the clergyman turned himself in for investigation.
The Police also confirmed that the gun-like object has been recovered.
In a statement on its official X handle on Tuesday, the command identified the object as a stun gun, classified as prohibited anti-riot equipment.
It added that Adefarasin was interrogated and gave a cautionary statement to investigators.
According to the statement, “Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who turned himself in today at the Lagos State Police Command over a viral video where he was seen holding a gun-like object against another road user, was interrogated and he volunteered cautionary statement to the police investigators.
“What was recovered from him, the gun-like object seen in the viral video, is not a lethal weapon or firearm but a stun gun which is a prohibited anti-riot equipment.
“The pastor has been granted bail while investigations continue into the case.”
