Nigerian preacher Paul Adefarasin has come under fire from former Big Brother Naija Housemate Natasha Akinde, often known as Tacha, for calling the content producer who produced the contentious video of him driving around Lagos “aggressive.”
During a Sunday sermon that was live-streamed on the church’s official YouTube channel, Adefarasin reportedly called the accusations of gun ownership untrue, insulting, and the result of “clickbaiters just looking for money.”
The cleric, who has never owned, licensed, or pointed a firearm at anyone, said the accusation rocked him and was a verbal assault on his integrity.
The material producer was “aggressive” for entering his personal space, he added, adding that the episode in issue occurred on a Saturday, which he usually observes as a Sabbath.

Tacha characterized Adefarasin’s remark as gaslighting in a post via 𝕏, pointing out that while many Nigerian pastors frequently display such views within their country, they hardly ever try to do the same outside of it.
She further maintained that a portion of Nigeria’s 𝕏 space would have been on fire if the controversy had involved the sons of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike or President Seyi Tinubu.
