The Lagos State Police Command says it recovered a stun gun from televangelist and Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin.
Pastor Adefarasin was quizzed earlier on Tuesday by detectives from the Lagos State Police Command over a viral video where he was seen pointing a gun-like object against another road user in Lagos.
He was consequently invited by the police for questioning.
