The recent incident involving Pastor Paul Adefarasin allegedly pointing what appears to be a gun, or a taser according to him, at a content creator has shaken many Nigerians to the core.

At first glance, it sounds unbelievable that a man of God, revered by millions, seemingly pulled a weapon in public. This raises a disturbing question: Are some of our religious leaders turning into gangsters in robes?

The role of a pastor is one that calls for peace, humility, and spiritual guidance. The scriptures teaches us to turn the other cheek, to love our enemies, and to walk in forgiveness. Yet, here we are, witnessing a scenario where a pastor, who should embody these core virtues, reacts with fear and force. When did the church become a place where the threat of violence is used to silence a citizen trying to record a moment?

Some defenders will argue that the pastor was acting in self-defense that the content creator was invasive and aggressive. In a world obsessed with viral content, personal space is frequently violated. But does this justify a man of God resorting to a weapon? And more importantly, what message does this send to the millions who look up to him?

If a pastor, tasked with preaching peace, feels the need to brandish a taser, are we witnessing a spiritual leader or a security enforcer? There’s a fine line between protecting oneself and abusing authority. When that line is crossed, it erodes trust in religious institutions and diminishes the moral authority pastors claim to hold.

Furthermore, this incident highlights a broader problem: the rise of celebrity culture within Nigerian churches. Too many pastors have become personalities who wield power not just spiritually but physically and socially. This blurring of lines risks transforming places of worship into fortresses guarded by fear, not faith.

This event should serve as a wake-up call. It’s time for Nigerian churches to reflect deeply on what they represent. Is it truly about guiding souls, or is it about maintaining power through intimidation?

Pastors must remember their calling. They are shepherds, not enforcers. Faith is not built on fear, but on love, trust, and humility. Paul Adefarasin’s alleged action, whether justified or not, tarnishes that sacred image and invites us all to ask: Are we following men of God, or men who have let the world’s violence creep into the sanctuary?
