UK to Deport Nigerian Pastor Tobi Adegboyega Over Alleged £1.87m Fraud
A Nigerian pastor whose church was closed over an alleged £1.87 million fraud has lost his appeal against deportation, despite arguing that it would violate his human rights.
An immigration tribunal has ruled that Tobi Adegboyega, 44, cousin of Star Wars actor, John Boyega, should be deported to Nigeria after investigations uncovered financial misconduct at his church.
Adegboyega was the leader of SPAC Nation, a controversial church shut down for failing to properly account for over £1.87 million in expenses and for operating without transparency.
He argued that his deportation would infringe upon his right to a family life under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), citing his marriage to a British woman.
He also contended that the Home Office failed to consider his community work with SPAC in the deportation decision.
