Thank you for your patience, prayers, and understanding in recent months. The Lagos State Police Command has conducted its enquiries concerning our Senior Pastor, Paul Adefarasin”.

“This outcome reaffirms what we have always known; that the truth will always prevail. We commend the professionalism of the Lagos State Police Command in bringing this matter to an orderly conclusion.”
