The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that Pastor Paul Adefarasin, founder of the House on the Rock Church, has turned himself in for questioning over a viral video that appeared to show him holding a gun-like object during a roadside encounter.

The Command, in a post shared via its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, stated, “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 who have commenced investigation on the case since a video surfaced online showing the pastor holding a gun-like object against another road user, while driving in an unregistered vehicle.

“The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”

The video, which surfaced earlier, shows Adefarasin holding a metallic object while speaking to a passerby who appeared to be recording him.

The clip has since gone viral, with several social media users alleging that the object was a firearm.

Responding to the allegations, Adefarasin in a message to his congregation posted on his verified social media pages, he denied brandishing a weapon.

He described the incident as a misunderstanding.

According to the cleric, the object in question was not a firearm, and at no point was it pointed at anyone.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi, said the trailer that was sent to kill him upon hitting him fell flat and got extremely dented.

The Osun monarch made the revelation while testifying to the power of God in a now-trending video on Tuesday.

While Oba Akanbi didn’t give details or the location of the incident, he noted that after the trailer hit him, he saw some angels of God dragging it.

“A trailer that was sent to kill us, hit us and fell flat and extremely dented. It was dragged away by angels of God. Except you do not choose God. Don’t have doubts while trusting God.”

A Federal High Court in Abuja has told the National Rescue Movement it can serve court documents on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, through someone else.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu made the ruling on Tuesday.

He said the documents, including Form 48 (which warns about disobeying a court order), should be given to any INEC staff member at its headquarters in Abuja.

He ordered that the name of whoever receives the documents must be written in an affidavit and filed in court.

This ruling followed a request from NRM’s lawyer, Oladimeji Ekengba, who said INEC and Yakubu ignored a court order from March 5.

That order had directed them to accept the outcome of the party’s emergency convention held on January 17, where Chief Edozie Njoku was elected National Chairman.

Ekengba said it had become almost impossible to serve the INEC chairman directly.

“The judgment debtor/respondent’s chairman has implemented numerous protocols, making it practically impossible for the bailiff to serve him personally,” Ekengba told the court.

He also explained that INEC only accepts legal documents at a designated registry near its Abuja office gates.

Earlier, NRM’s lawyer, Joe Agi, had written to Yakubu, reminding him that the court had already ordered INEC to recognise the new party leadership.

On January 16, Justice Emeka Nwite had ordered INEC to monitor and accept the January 17 convention.

But since INEC had not complied, the party returned to court, which led to the current contempt proceeding.

Justice Egwuatu adjourned the case until July 15.
