ALLEGED CYBERBULLYING: Pastor Adeboye denies hand in arrest of SeaKing, demands release of TikToker
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has demanded the immediate release of TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo aka ‘SeaKing’, who was recently arrested for allegedly cyberbullying the clergyman.
Recall that the arrest of SeaKing was made known in a post shared online by politician cum political activist Omoyele Sowore who informed that the TikToker was nabbed following petition written against him by one Paul James Adama for allegedly cyberbullying Pastor Adeboye.
While reacting to the arrest of the TikToker who was picked up by security operatives on Thursday, February 6, Pastor Adeboye said some people who were annoyed at SeaKing’s defamatory remarks decided to take matters into their own hands.
Pastor Adeboye who waded into the matter while preaching at a programme in his church on Friday said that he has nothing to do with the arrest of SeaKing and therefore demanded the release of the TikToker whom he said is fulfilling a prophecy.

He said, “I heard that there was someone who lambasted me thoroughly. What is my offense? Because I asked my people to fast for 100 days.
“I didn’t ask him oh! I didn’t even ask anybody who isn’t a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast. Only my children! God said that it would happen.
“I was told that some people got angry and went to arrest the fellow. Release him. He is fulfilling prophecy.”
