Deji Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, has labeled any pastor who detains those who criticize or insult him as fraudulent.
Adeyanju’s comments were made in response to the plea from Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, to free TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, also known as SeaKing.
SeaKing had publicly criticized and insulted Adeboye for his request for a 100-day fasting period for RCCG members.
However, Ogunsanwo was arrested by police in Lagos and transferred to Abuja’s Federal Investigation Department (FID) under DIG Dasuki Galandanchi for alleged cyberbullying.
In a viral TikTok video, the content creator referred to Pastor Adeboye as “very stupid and foolish” for imposing a 100-day fast on his congregation.
In response, Adeyanju praised Adeboye for demanding SeaKing’s release.
Posting on Facebook, the activist lawyer wrote: “Papa Adeboye video condemning the arrest of @seaking303 & calling for his release is what is expected of any real man of God.
“This is why I will always stan Bishop Oyedepo & Papa Adeboye. Any Pastor that arrest & lock up anyone for criticizing or insulting them is a fake pastor.
“Why didn’t Jesus arrest those who insulted & criticized Him? Why Jesus no use police to arrest critics? Fake pastors!
“Numerous people insult & defame me daily and also my spiritual leaders but I have never supported anyone arresting them.
“I will rather defend my spiritual leader or urge them to sue those who have defamed them but arresting someone for insulting or criticizing you is the greatest sign of wickedness and unbelief.
“You are a fake pastor if you arrest anyone for criticizing you.”
