June 06, (THEWILL) – UK-based Nigerian pastor and founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), now known as The Nxtion Family, Tobi Adegboyega, has disclosed his battle with cancer.
The flamboyant preacher, who is well-known for his youth-oriented ministry and high-profile lifestyle, made the announcement in a pre-recorded sermon that was broadcast to his congregation on Thursday.
“I was diagnosed with cancer. Yes, you heard me right. I’ve been dealing with cancer for the past few months or even more. I just had a major surgery, that’s why I am not there today.
“I have just fought the battle, and I feel the verdict to continue to live was given to me by God for a new level, for a new stage”, the pastor added.
The pastor also announced a £100,000 donation to support cancer awareness and treatment for young patients.
Adegboyega rose to prominence through his unconventional approach to ministry and outreach to troubled youth, but has faced criticism for his lavish displays of wealth, including luxury cars and celebrity ties.
In 2022, his former church, SPAC Nation, was dissolved by UK authorities following a High Court investigation into financial mismanagement, including unaccounted expenses surpassing £1.87 million.
