Pastor Tobi breaks silence amid £1.87 million fraud allegations and deportation: "Not weaklings"

Nigerian-based UK pastor Tobi Adegboyega has broken his silence amid reports of facing deportation back to Nigeria.

The church leader whose congregation (Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church) was shut down over an alleged £1.87 million fraud has lost his fight against deportation despite claims that it would violate his human rights.

An immigration tribunal has ordered that Tobi Adegboyega, 44, the cousin of Star Wars actor John Boyega, be deported back to Nigeria after investigations, reported by The Telegraph, revealed his church's misuse of funds.

Mr Adegboyega was the leader of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, a contentious church that was shut down for failing to properly account for over £1.87 million in outgoings and operating with a lack of openness.

He contended that deportation would violate his right to a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), as he had married a British woman. He further claimed that the Home Office's attempt to remove him did not take into consideration his community activities with his church.

A quick look at his Instagram page showed the clergyman in a dinner meeting with friends and family amid the viral reports.

Sharing videos from the light-hearted hangout, Pastor Tobi claimed that he was not a weakling and had not come this far through anyone.
