Judges in the United Kingdom have explained why London-based Nigerian pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s deportation was approved.
Adegboyega, the founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation) arrived I’m the UK in 2005 and has remained there in am expired visa.
Married to a Briton, the pastor sought to remain in the UK in human rights ground, a request which has been denied despite several appeals.
While Adegboyega claims through his initiatives, many youths are saved from the streets of UK, drugs and depression, the tribunal believes he can still do his work from comm outside the country.
Citing his unlawful, the tribunal said Adegboyega’s work is highly exaggerated.
The tribunal said the cleric failed to provide corroborating evidence that the UK police endorsed his works. If also failed to acknowledge that his marriage go a Briton is sufficient to counterbalance his overstay.
The tribunal stated, “There was nothing before us from the Metropolitan Police, Downing Street, the Mayor of London or the Home Office, all institutions which the appellant claims to have enthusiastically endorsed his work.
“For instance, there was nothing at all to support his assertions that his presence in London is needed to ‘calm the nerves of people from ethnic minorities’ following the ‘fascist uprising’ of August 2024, or that his presence is an ‘absolute necessity’ to fighting crime.
“There was no corroboration for his claim to have visited Downing Street on ‘countless occasions’. These are examples of areas of the appellant’s evidence where we are satisfied that he has sought to grossly inflate his influence” it said.
