The Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin,
has claimed he was left ‘hurt’ and ‘shocked’ over a viral video which claimed that he brandished a firearm.
According to Adefarasin, ‘clickbaiters just looking for money’ were behind the clip.
The cleric stated this on Sunday morning, just before delivering a sermon to his congregation in Lagos.
‘Several persons called me. I was shocked. I was hurt. I’m human’, Adefarasin said.
‘What we have had to witness was clickbaiters just looking for money. I probably wasn’t even their target; their target was to make more money’.
Again, Adefarasin insisted he does not own a firearm, although he did not confirm what he pointed at the content creator.
‘I was falsely accused of pointing a firearm at an aggressive content creator who came within personal distance.
‘I do not have a pistol license. I do not carry a firearm. And I pointed no firearm at anybody’, he said.
Adefarasin added: ‘It’s our policy not to dignify hate speech and false accusations. We believe God is bigger than that’.
Quoting scripture, he added: ‘We believe in what He said in Romans 12:19 — ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’.
