The Senior Pastor of the House on the Rock Church in Lagos, Paul Adefarasin, has reacted to allegations that he displayed a gun as allegedly sighted in a viral video.
While promising to speak on the matter on Sunday, he denied holding any firearm nor threatening anyone with such.
In a message to his congregation posted on his social media handles on Saturday, Adefarasin described the claims as a misunderstanding, stating clearly that the object seen in the footage was not a firearm, and that he did not point it at anyone.
Adefarasin acknowledged the concern the video may have sparked and promised to briefly address the issue during the church’s 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday.
“We understand the concern this accusation may have caused, and we will speak briefly to this mischief during the 9:00 a.m. service tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and understanding,” he added.
The House on the Rock founder urged the public to remain calm and not fall for misinformation or sensationalism surrounding the video clip.
