Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, a Nigerian-born UK-based pastor, is facing deportation due to allegations of mismanaging £1.87 million in church funds. A UK immigration tribunal has ordered his deportation, citing evidence of financial misconduct and cult-like practices within his ministry.
Adegboyega, the founder of the now-defunct SPAC Nation, has been accused of pressuring church members to sell their blood and commit benefit fraud to meet financial demands. Former congregants have also accused church leaders of living opulent lifestyles at the expense of struggling members.
The tribunal rejected Adegboyega’s claims that deportation would breach his right to family life, stating that his family ties could endure his deportation. Adegboyega had previously appealed a denial of leave to remain, but his application was dismissed due to evidence of “serious misconduct and mismanagement” during his leadership of SPAC Nation.
