Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has called for the release of popular TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, also known as “SeaKing,” who was re-arrested on Thursday on the premises of Lagos state high court.
SeaKing, who was initially arrested over allegations of cyberbullying, was taken to Abuja following his re-arrest on Thursday.
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.”
The cleric also clarified that he had no involvement in the matter.
He 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.
It was gathered 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).
The Nigeria police had claimed that a petition was submitted by Paul James Adama, representing a Christian association, on behalf of Pastor Adeboye.
