Adeboye to Police: I didn’t send you to arrest TikToker SeaKing
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called for the immediate release of popular TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as “SeaKing,” who was re-arrested on Thursday on the Lagos State court premises.
Speaking during a church programme on Friday, February 7, Adeboye distanced himself from the arrest, stating that some individuals angered by Seaking’s remarks took it upon themselves to take action.
He urged the Nigerian police to release the social media influencer, saying, “Seaking is fulfilling prophecy.”
SeaKing, who was initially arrested over allegations of cyberbullying, was taken to Abuja following his re-arrest.
Adeboye, however, clarified that he had no involvement in the matter.
The general overseer said, “I heard that someone lambasted me thoroughly. What is my offence? Because I asked my people to fast for 100 days? I didn’t ask him. I didn’t even ask anyone who isn’t a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast—only my children! God said it would happen.
“I was told that some people got angry and went to arrest the fellow. Release him. He is fulfilling prophecy,” he said.
On February 7, activist Omoyele Sowore expressed his disappointment and concern over the decline of the Nigeria Police Force, describing it as “disheartening, disgusting, and frightening.”
Sowore’s team, including lawyers Adeyanju Deji and Marshal D F Abubakar, met with the Federal Investigation Department (FID) of the Nigeria Police Force to discuss Olumide’s ordeal.
They were informed that Olumide’s arrest was due to alleged cyberbullying against Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) according to Sowore on his X
