Meanwhile, the command said it has granted Pastor Adefarasin bail but the investigation will continue.
Recall that last week, a video surfaced online showing Pastor Adefarasin holding a metallic object quite similar to a gun in an unregistered vehicle. In the video, the pastor was speaking to a passerby whom he ordered to stop recording him.
In response to the video, the pastor refuted the allegations that the object is a firearm. He stated that the object was misunderstood to be a firearm and he didn’t point it at anyone.
