£1.87 million fraud: Nigerian-born UK Pastor Tobi Adegboyega insists on remaining in UK amid deportation threat

The embattled Nigerian-born UK pastor Tobi Adegboyega insisted that he will remain in London and declared that United Kingdom is his homeland.

The ex-leader of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church based in London, 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.

He said, his impending deportation to Nigeria his birth place before he relocated to London did not deter him, expressing optimism that he would overcome it.

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 our fans people who 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 sort, 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.”
