Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), has addressed the circulating rumors regarding his purported deportation from the United Kingdom. He criticized those fueling the speculation, describing their actions as an attempt to gain attention and emphasizing that their claims are unfounded and not deserving of further commentary.
In a sermon delivered to his congregation on Sunday, Adegboyega directly addressed the ongoing rumors regarding his immigration dispute with the UK government. He dismissed those behind these claims, describing them as “dogs barking at each other” and emphasized that their remarks were neither directed at him nor his church community. “They are not talking to me or to SPAC Nation,” he stated, making it clear that he saw no need to engage with such distractions.
The controversy surrounding Pastor Adegboyega intensified after reports emerged that he is under investigation for a £1.87 million fraud case. The allegations involve financial misconduct related to SPAC Nation, the church he founded. Furthermore, despite claiming that his deportation would violate his human rights, Adegboyega lost his appeal to avoid being removed from the UK. An immigration tribunal ruled that he would be deported to Nigeria, a decision that has sparked further debate.
Despite these challenges, Pastor Adegboyega has consistently maintained his innocence. His legal team continues to assert that he will not be deported, arguing that the allegations are baseless and that the pastor has done nothing wrong. The situation remains a complex and controversial one, with both legal and public scrutiny intensifying around SPAC Nation and its founder.
Adegboyega, 44, further minimized the importance of the allegations, suggesting that those questioning his situation were not genuinely seeking answers, but rather focusing on insignificant matters. He remarked, “Nigerians are the last people to seek real answers. What they need is rice, not answers.” He also added, “When the local dogs finish barking at each other, they will still find us here. They will be escorted back to their pages. They are not talking to me; they’re just talking to themselves.”
