Nigerian clergyman residing in the UK, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, has lost his legal battle against deportation from the UK following allegations of financial misconduct.
The founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church SPAC Nation was exposed for misusing his church funds amounting to £1.87 million. Investigations showed that the clergyman was unable to properly account for more than £1.87 million of outgoings and operated with a lack of transparency.
An immigration tribunal ruled that the clergyman, who has been living in the UK unlawfully since overstaying his visitor’s visa in 2005, should be deported to Nigeria.
The news that is currently trending online has stirred reactions from netizens.

Last year, the clergyman was embroiled in a messy scandal after Super Eagles player Kayode Olanrewaju, filed a N1 billion lawsuit against him for being in a sexual relationship with the footballer’s wife. It was reported that the footballer’s wife was introduced to Pastor Tobi through an associate of media personality Daddy Freeze.
The footballer, who plays for Turkish Genclerbirligi, urged the court to order UK-based pastor Tobi to pay him N1billion in damages of goodwill caused by his alleged adulterous affair with his wife, Ezinne. The footballer alleged that his wife’s relationship with Adegboyega hasn’t been discreet, with the pair seen openly attending parties and sharing intimate moments in public.
