“Every Nigerian Should Be Proud of Me” – Pastor Tobi Adegboyega Speaks Amid Deportation Controversy

Nigerian-born UK pastor Tobi Adegboyega has addressed reports of his impending deportation to Nigeria, urging his supporters to remain calm. The former leader of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, known as SPAC Nation, spoke out after losing a legal battle against deportation, which he argued would infringe upon his human rights.

An immigration tribunal has ruled that the 44-year-old, who is a cousin of actor John Boyega, must be deported following allegations of financial misconduct, including a £1.87 million fraud linked to his now-defunct church. According to The Telegraph, investigations uncovered irregularities that contributed to the decision.

Adegboyega addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram. “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,” he said. “Every Nigerian should be proud of me. I have survived all sorts, the matter they are propagating is the smallest of matters. No panic. I love London city, it is my city, and nobody can do anything.”
