Mr. Dele Olawanle, lawyer to Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, has refuted claims that the British government plans to deport his client.
Reports had surfaced that Adegboyega, founder of SPAC Nation, faced deportation following allegations of £1.87 million fraud in his church.
However, Olawanle dismissed these claims, describing the publication as ignorant.
Olawanle stated on social media: “I could not stop laughing when I read that Tobi Adegboyega faces deportation from the United Kingdom. The newspaper that carried the news was ignorant. I have acted for him as a lawyer on a personal basis and for the ministry. He is not facing deportation from the UK. That is elementary immigration law for journalists. Deportation is for criminals. He is not.”
He further explained that Adegboyega has resided in the UK for over two decades without any criminal record and has made significant contributions to the British community.
