Netizens React To Police Report That Pastor Paul Adefarasin Was Not Holding a Firearm
Meanwhile, netizens are not taking it likely with the clergy, as they believe the police are likely covering him up as it may be a real gun
Let’s take a look at some of the comments
Catapult is 7years prison terms while a rubber gun is equivalent to real gun when used as a threat!! This guy is guilty as hell !!
Another commenter reads:
It might be real lethal gun but they make it lighter by lies to make it look like rubber gun.
Also take a look at this comment:
Let the police show the photos of the evidence if it’s not actual a gun. Where did he get a stun gun and why did he have to brandish it? Nobody would have known if he had not wound down his car window but but he wants to prove he can defend himself with a weapon. Police are covering him up because of his connection. For clarity and transparency if actually there was any investigation, they should make public how they made their findings and show us the photo of the stunt gun.
It seems like Pastor Paul Adefarasin is not beating these allegations anytime soon
