Nigerian cleric, Pastor Paul Adefarasin clears the air on allegations of him holding a gun in a viral video.
It would be recalled that mixed reactions had trailed a video capturing the moment a content creator approached the vehicle of the pastor and he was seen holding an indeterminate object.
Netizens had opined that he was simply holding a gun or a tazer.
Pastor Adefarasin has clarified that he wasn’t holding a gun.
He noted that that he would be speaking on the matter during his service on Sunday morning.
His words …
“Dear Family,
Trusting that this meets you well, winning and on top of the tests of life.
You might be aware of a video which has been circulating on social media showing me in what some have misunderstood as brandishing a firearm. I want to assure you of this — that, that was certainly not a firearm, and at no point did I point such at anyone. We understand the concern that this accusation may have caused, and we will speak briefly to this mischief during the 9:00 am service tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Yours truly.
Paul Adefarasin.”

chineduobike remarked: “The lesson for everyone in this whole saga that’s been trending online since yesterday is simple: people rejoice when others fall. It’s sad but true. The real question is—why film someone’s car in a country where insecurity is already so alarming? But of course, once it involves a popular pastor, it will trend. Regardless, Pastor Paul, you have my prayers. 🙌””
