The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, has said that the use of a stun gun as a form of threat or to create fear in the mind of another constitutes an offence under the law.

Jimoh disclosed this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday while giving an update on the case involving the Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who was recently granted bail after questioning over a gun-like object found in his possession in a viral video.

“Nothing is an offence under the law, except what the law states to be an offence. Even under the Fire Arms Act, if you fashion out anything that is not metal, like wood, and you make it look like a gun, and you use that guise to take possession of property from another person, you have committed armed robbery.

“So, pointing a stun gun at another individual and sending that threat and fear to such a person at that particular time constitutes an offence. So, the police are doing everything in line with the law,” he said.

Jimoh reiterated that the object recovered from the pastor was a stun gun and not a lethal weapon.

He, however, said that the stun gun was prohibited riot equipment under the law.

“He was invited; a letter of invitation was sent to him. In fact, we had prepared our warrant of arrest, in case he refused to comply with the invitation. But he turned himself in and was questioned by a team of investigators who were already on the matter before he turned himself in.

“The matter is still undergoing further investigation. As the PPRO has informed the public, what was recovered from him was a stun gun, not a lethal weapon, but is prohibited riot equipment which we are investigating. We further questioned him why he pointed such to another individual.

The police commissioner further said that the person, at whom the object was pointed, would also be invited to give a statement regarding the incident that trended on social media.

“It is equally on social media that the person he pointed it to is a content creator and we are taking a statement from him as soon as he equally gets to us because we have got his address and we’re going to get him to make a statement in that regard.

“So, the pastor is still under investigation, though he has been granted bail, but we will continue with the investigation and make the outcome of the investigation public for all Nigerians to know,” he added.

Adefarasin was granted bail by the police on Wednesday after he turned himself in on Tuesday following the incident.

According to the police, Adefarasin was interrogated and he volunteered a cautionary statement to the police investigators.

The video, which surfaced earlier this month, showed the prominent pastor driving a Range Rover, winding down his window, and engaging with a road user while holding a black unidentified object.

The footage sparked widespread speculation online, with many alleging the object resembled a firearm.

In a reaction, however, Pastor Adefarasin took to his official X handle to dismiss the claims.

“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 was certainly not a firearm, and at no point did I point such at anyone,” he wrote.
