Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, a Nigerian-born UK-based clergyman, has responded to the reports of his impending deportation to Nigeria. The former leader of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, which was shut down amid allegations of a £1.87 million fraud, has lost his appeal against deportation on human rights grounds.
The 44-year-old pastor, who is related to Star Wars actor John Boyega, was ordered to be deported after an immigration tribunal ruled against him. The ruling comes after investigations reportedly uncovered financial misconduct linked to his church.
Despite the tribunal’s decision, Pastor Adegboyega addressed the matter publicly via his Instagram page. He reassured his followers, stating:
“I’ve heard a lot today, and I’m doing this for our friends, fans, and people who are worried. I’m right here at home—no cause for alarm. Every Nigerian should be proud of me. I’ve survived all sorts; this is the smallest of matters. No panic. I love London city—it is my city, and nobody can do anything.”
This statement appears to highlight Pastor Adegboyega’s confidence in resolving the situation while emphasizing his resilience. The deportation case continues to generate significant public interest.
