Tobi Adegboyega, the flamboyant founder of the SPAC Nation church in the UK, is reportedly facing deportation over allegations of mismanagement of £1.87 million in church funds.
Details of Allegations
The UK authorities allege that Adegboyega misused funds meant for the church’s charitable activities. The accusations include lavish spending on luxury items, personal expenses, and high-profile events unrelated to the church’s mission.
Official Response
The Home Office has initiated deportation proceedings, citing financial misconduct and a breach of trust in managing funds for a registered charity. Adegboyega’s legal team has denied the allegations, calling them “baseless” and promising to challenge the deportation decision.
Background
SPAC Nation, known for its outreach to vulnerable youth and ex-convicts, has faced scrutiny in the past for controversial practices, including pressuring members into financial commitments. Adegboyega, with his flashy lifestyle, has often been criticized for not aligning with the values of a religious leader.
Next Steps
Adegboyega is expected to appeal the decision. If deported, it could mark the end of his controversial tenure as a prominent church leader in the UK. The case has sparked debates about accountability and transparency in faith-based organizations.
