Recall that a content creator shared a video of the House on the Rock pastor on social media on Friday.
Pastor Adefarasin was captured in the 10-second video driving a black Range Rover. He slowed near the content creator, and the tinted window rolled down.
The content creator was heard greeting Adefarasin, but the pastor appears to respond sternly while holding what some viewers interpreted as a pistol.
The content creator quickly apologised as Adefarasin drove off.
The video started trending on social media after the Lagos-based content creator known for filming luxury and exotic cars posted it.
The content creator claimed the 62-year-old clergyman pointed a gun at him.
