•Pastor Tobi Adegboyega
Nigerian-born UK pastor, Tobi Adegboyega has addressed recent reports of his impending deportation to Nigeria.
The former leader of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, which was shut down following allegations of a £1.87 million fraud, has lost his legal battle against deportation despite asserting that the move would infringe upon his human rights.
An immigration tribunal has ruled that the 44-year-old, who is a cousin of Star Wars actor John Boyega, be deported to Nigeria.
According to a report by The Telegraph, investigations revealed financial misconduct within his church, leading to the decision.
Addressing the controversy via his Instagram page, Tobi Adegboyega said, “I’ve heard a lot today, and I’m doing this because our friends, fans and people are worried. I’m right here at home, no cause for alarm. And naturally I dismiss things that have to do with retrogression. 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.”
