According to Ireporter Online, the Lagos State Police Command has cleared the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, of any wrongdoing following the circulation of a viral video that showed him holding an object believed to be a firearm.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Adebisi, it was confirmed that Pastor Adefarasin voluntarily appeared at the state police headquarters in Ikeja for questioning.
