Adeboye demands release of TikToker

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, Enoch Adeboye, has called for the release of popular TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo, aka SeaKing, who was arrested by the police and arraigned in court for criticising the cleric on social media.

The revered cleric also distanced himself from the arrest, stating that he was not aware of the incident or those responsible for it.

In a TikTok post shared in December 2024, SeaKing criticised Adeboye for urging people to fast for 100 days for Nigeria, describing the directive as “stupid.”

Angered by the post, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum, a Christian youth group, petitioned the Lagos State Police Command, which led to SeaKing’s arrest in December, sparking widespread outrage on social media.

However, in a viral video seen by Chronicle NG, Adeboye clarified that he was not involved in the TikToker’s arrest and didn’t know those behind it.

He said, “I heard that there was someone who lambasted me thoroughly because I asked my people to fast for 100 days. I didn’t ask him o. I didn’t even ask anybody who is not a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast—only my children. But God said that it would happen. I was told that some people got so angry, and they went and arrested the fellow. Haaa! Release him. He is fulfilling prophecy.”
