Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has asked for the release of Olumide Ogunsanwo, better known as ‘SeaKing,’ a TikToker who was arrested again for allegedly cyberbullying him.
Adeboye spoke during the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service on Friday, which was held at Redemption City on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.
In a video of his sermon during the service that began trending on Saturday, Adeboye stressed that he had no involvement in SeaKing’s arrest, adding that certain persons, incensed by the TikToker’s words, made the choice to arrest him.
Adeboye said in part, “I heard that there is someone who lambasted me thoroughly. What is my offence? 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.
“I was told some people got so angry and went to arrest the fellow. Release him, he’s fulfilling prophecy”.
Rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, who visited Seaking, alongside some lawyers, in police custody in Abuja on Friday had reported that they were told that his arrest was based on a petition from one Paul James Adama using the name of a Christian association or group “affiliated with FPRO Adejobi Olumuyiwa.”
