The video clip, which is circulating across Nigerian social media platforms, captured the tense moment when Adefarasin rolled down the tinted window of his black SUV and revealed what appeared to be a firearm in his right hand. The visibly startled car spotter quickly began apologizing.
“Boss, boss, sorry sir, sorry sir,” the young man can be heard saying in the footage, clearly trying to de-escalate the situation as the pastor drove away.

The incident has since sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians questioning why a renowned religious leader would be carrying a gun in public, let alone brandishing it in a civilian encounter.
While Pastor Adefarasin has yet to issue an official statement regarding the video, online users remain divided. Some defend the cleric’s right to personal security in a high-risk country, while others argue it contradicts the values expected from spiritual leaders.
The House on the Rock founder is well known for organizing The Experience, one of Africa’s largest gospel worship concerts. However, this latest development may now overshadow his ministry’s accomplishments and trigger public relations backlash.

The story continues to gain traction, raising bigger questions about celebrity pastors, firearm ownership, and the limits of privacy in a digital age.
