Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor of all House on the Rock Churches, has spoken out for the first time following the circulation of a viral video in which he appeared to point what social media users alleged was a firearm at another driver in traffic.

 

According to reports, the unidentified driver recognized Pastor Adefarasin when the pastor rolled down his car window and pointed an object, sparking widespread criticism online.

 

In response to the controversy, Adefarasin released a statement clarifying the situation.

 

“Dear Family, trusting that this meets you well, winning and on top of the tests of life,” he began. “You might be aware of a video circulating on social media showing me in what some have misunderstood as brandishing a firearm. I want to assure you — that was certainly not a firearm, and I did not point anything of the sort at anyone.”

 

He acknowledged the public concern and added, “We understand the worry this may have caused and will address the issue briefly during the 9:00 am service tomorrow.”

 

He concluded by thanking the public for their patience and understanding.
