General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called for the release of Seaking, the TikToker detained over cyberbullying.
Seaking, real name Olumide Ogunsanwo, was arrested in December for alleged treason, cyberstalking, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
This was after he shared a video on social media wherein he appeared to have abused President Bola Tinubu, Babajide-Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor; and Kayode Egbetokun, inspector general of police.
He was bailed but was rearrested at a magistrate court in Ogba, Lagos, last week, supposedly for criticising the cleric on social media.
Seaking had slammed Adeboye in a TikTok post in December for asking his congregation to fast for 100 days for Nigeria, describing the directive as “stupid”.
Speaking at the last Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye said he had been told about Seaking’s online insults against him.
He said he was not bothered by the insults and instead saw them as a fulfillment of prophecy.
“I heard that there was someone who lambasted me. What was my offence? Because I asked my people to fast for 100 days. I did not ask him. I did not even ask anyone who is not a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast. It was only my children. But God said that it will happen.
“I was told that some people got so angry and they went and arrested the fellow. Release him. He is fulfilling prophecy. For my children, glory ahead.”
