The UK government is set to deport Nigerian pastor Tobi Adegboyega after he lost his deportation case at an immigration tribunal. Adegboyega, the founder of SPAC Nation, has been accused of financial misconduct, leading to the closure of his church.
Background on Pastor Tobi Adegboyega
Adegboyega arrived in the UK in 2005 on a visitor’s visa and has since remained unlawfully. Despite his attempts to remain in the UK based on his family life and community work, the tribunal ruled against him.
Allegations Against SPAC Nation
The UK authorities closed SPAC Nation after investigating the church’s financial practices, revealing a lack of transparency and misuse of over £1.87 million. Former church members also accused the organization of cult-like activities.
The Tribunal’s Decision
The tribunal found that the allegations against Adegboyega and his church were serious, including accusations of financial mismanagement and exploitation of young people. Despite Adegboyega’s claims of good work within the community, the tribunal decided that his deportation was justified.
