Breaking News: Pastor Paul Adefarasin turns self in at Lagos Police HQ!!! 🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️💨

Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command following the circulation of a viral video allegedly showing him holding a firearm during an encounter with a content creator.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this update Tuesday afternoon, June 17.

The Command confirmed that Adefarasin was being interrogated over the video.

Recall that a video clip emerged online last week showing Pastor Adefarasin holding a metallic object while speaking to a passerby who was recording him.

After the viral video, the pastor denied allegations suggesting he brandished a firearm.

“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 at no point did I point such at anyone,” he stated.

In a WhatsApp message, CSP Hundeyin wrote: ”No one is above the law! Pastor Paul Adefarasin has turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, and is currently being interrogated by detectives.

“They have commenced an investigation into the case following the emergence of a video showing the pastor holding a gun-like object toward another road user while driving in an unregistered vehicle.

“The outcome of the investigation will be made public.”

The U.S. military parade held on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., has sparked widespread criticism for its poor execution and political undertones. Organized to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, the event was meant to be a grand patriotic celebration. However, many veterans, spectators, and critics called it the sloppiest and least disciplined military parade they had ever seen. Reports described soldiers marching out of sync, lack of formal saluting, and an overall unprofessional appearance.

Adding to the controversy was the choice of music. The parade featured classic rock songs, including Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” a well-known anti-war anthem criticizing the privileged who escape military service. Many saw this as a deeply ironic and inappropriate choice for an event meant to honor military service—especially considering it was used to salute a president who himself avoided the draft. The move was widely mocked online and condemned by veterans and military commentators.

The event was also politically charged, with some viewing it as a personal tribute to Trump rather than a nonpartisan celebration of the military. Critics pointed out the cost of the parade—estimated between $25 to $45 million—as wasteful, especially in light of ongoing budget concerns facing the Department of Veterans Affairs. A majority of Americans, according to polls, felt the parade was an unnecessary use of taxpayer money.

Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys and widely regarded as a musical genius, has died at 82. ⁠
⁠
His family announced his death on Wednesday through his official website and social media accounts. No further details were released. Wilson, who played bass and wrote many of the group’s defining songs, was the last surviving Wilson brother.⁠
⁠
Starting in Hawthorne, California in the early 1960s, the Beach Boys rose from a local act to international symbols of surf culture. Their catalog included more than 30 Top 40 hits, driven by Wilson’s intricate harmonies and studio experimentation. The 1966 album Pet Sounds, shaped by his admiration for Phil Spector’s production, was later cited by Paul McCartney as a key influence on Sgt. Pepper’s. The group joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.⁠
⁠
Wilson withdrew from touring in 1964 amid mounting psychological strain but continued to direct the band’s evolving sound. Songs like “Good Vibrations” and “Don’t Worry Baby” reflected both his technical ambition and personal turmoil. Even after his commercial peak, he remained a source of influence, eventually performing Pet Sounds and completing the long-delayed Smile project before devoted audiences around the world.⁠
