April 7, (THEWILL)- Tobi Adegboyega, the founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), has been accused by Super Eagles player, Olanrewaju Kayode of having an affair with his wife, Ezinne.
Kayode plays as a forward for Turkish club, Gençlerbirliği. He alleged that Adegboyega engaged in sexual affairs with Ezinne who allegedly left their home for extended periods to attend orgies in London where Adegboyega resides. Kayode was forced to make this allegation after a video of his wife at Adegboyega’s birthday party in London surfaced, while he (Kayode) was away in Turkey at work. According to the Super Eagles star, Ezinne and their children were supposed to be in Nigeria, but she allegedly left home for the party in London without informing him.
He alleged that Adegboyega sponsored her trip to attend the birthday party. In the said video, both Dora and Adegboyega were allegedly captured whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears with Dora too close to Adegboyega for comfort.
Kayode also alleged that she stole two Mercedes SUVs from her husband to finance the lavish lifestyle of Adegboyega and his associates. He also alleged that his wife conspired with realtor Ugochukwu Igboanugo and accomplices, Jennifer Max Nduaguibe and Lynda Dike Anulika to transfer property ownership from him to herself.
He claimed that his wife abducted their three children on Sunday, March 24, 2024 and their whereabouts is unknown. Despite numerous complaints and petitions to law enforcement, including the Nigerian Police FCID Alagbon under AIG Idowu Omohunwa, efforts to recover the stolen vehicles, properties and abducted children have been futile.
Kayode also said his wife had been falsely parading herself as a lawyer and suspected of drug abuse, and allegedly attempting to manipulate officers of some security outfits to coerce him into relinquishing his property or face harm.
But the United Kingdom-based pastor has dismissed the allegations, saying he is too busy to listen to lies and more focused on raising people from difficult backgrounds to greatness. The cleric also said he was unbothered by all kinds of news about him.
“I focus on raising young people from difficult backgrounds into greatness, that’s the news. Every other news is just desperate oldies looking to take where they have not sown. I believe in the resurrection. If you are stressed look at me, no stress, no problems. Church this morning is going to be an awesome day of ordination. Anybody can say what they like,” he said.
Adegboyega is no stranger to controversies. He has been accused of financial exploitation, misappropriation, fraud, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. The church at some point allegedly pressured youths to take out loans and sell their blood in order to pay for the church’s lavish spending via their church doctrine known as ‘bleeding for seed’. At other times, the top pastors of the church allegedly threatened parishioners who failed to raise enough money or allegedly told members to beg, borrow or steal in order to gather money for the church. In 2022, the UK government shut down his church over fraud allegations. It said SPAC failed to account for more than £1.87 million in expenditure and operated with non-transparency. A cousin of British actor, John Boyega, Adegboyega started out as a pastor with Nigerian based World Evangelism Bible Church (WEBIC) owned by Prophet Samson Ayorinde, before leaving to set up SPAC in 2008, three years after he moved to London from Nigeria. Adegboyega lives a life of flamboyance. He drives flashy cars like Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz G-Wagon, Brabus, Range Rover. He also likes to wear very outlandish, in your face, designer outfits and seems to particularly like the Louis Vuitton brand. Besides having a Rolex in his collection, he is an ardent disciple of the Richard Mille brand. Like him, his pastors also follow in his footsteps, dressing in designer apparels and driving fast flashy cars. He also likes to throw loud late-night parties with a lot of revelry.
Adegboyega explains his need for flamboyance as being a beacon of prosperity on a global scale as he redefines pastoring. When he and his pastors show off, he explains it as community wealth and not personal wealth. He likes to regard his fellow flamboyant pastors and members as a community of fighters and winners who don’t care what anyone thinks about them because anyone who condemns how they live can’t obviously withstand their resolve and ultimately doesn’t like good things.
