Prophecy In Motion: Pastor Adeboye Commands Immediate Release Of TikToker Seaking

Published February 8, 2025 at 8:22 PM

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has clarified that he had no involvement in the arrest of popular TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, widely known as ‘Seaking.’

Pastor Adeboye explained that those responsible for the TikToker’s arrest did so without his knowledge, acting independently over alleged derogatory remarks made against him by Seaking on social media.

However, the respected cleric has now called for Seaking’s release, stating that the young man is merely fulfilling a prophecy. In a video statement, Pastor Adeboye said, “I heard that some people got upset and had him arrested. Let him go—he’s fulfilling prophecy.”

Seaking was rearrested in Lagos on Thursday, February 6, and subsequently flown to Abuja.

Commenting on the situation, Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), revealed that Seaking’s rearrest was linked to his alleged defamatory remarks about Pastor Adeboye. Sowore, alongside human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju, visited the Federal Investigation Department (FID), where they were informed that Seaking was apprehended for alleged cyberbullying against the RCCG leader.

Reports indicate that the FID acted on a petition filed by one Paul James Adama on behalf of Pastor Adeboye.
