Tobi Adegboyega, a Nigerian-born pastor based in the UK, has publicly addressed reports about his potential deportation to Nigeria.
Adegboyega, who gained attention as the former leader of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, also known as SPAC Nation, took to Instagram to share his side of the story and reassure his supporters.
The pastor, who is a cousin of actor John Boyega, has been embroiled in legal battles after allegations of financial misconduct surfaced against his church.
According to reports from The Telegraph, SPAC Nation was investigated for fraud involving approximately £1.87 million, which ultimately led to the church being shut down. The UK immigration tribunal ruled against Adegboyega, deciding that he should be deported to his home country.
Amid this controversy, Adegboyega broke his silence, stating on social media: “I’ve heard a lot today, and I’m doing this because our friends, our fans, people who are worried. I’m right here at home, no cause for alarm… Every Nigerian should be proud of me.” He dismissed the deportation matter as insignificant, adding that he loves London and considers it his city.
