Controversial Nigerian, United Kingdom-based pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, has opened up on his battle with cancer.
The founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), now rebranded as The Nation Family, made this known during a pre-recorded sermon aired to his congregation on Thursday.
Pastor Adegboyega, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and youth-driven ministry, also revealed he underwent a major surgery.
He said, “I was diagnosed with cancer. Yes, you heard me right. I’ve been dealing with cancer for the past few months or even more. I just had a major surgery, that’s why I am not there today.
“I have just fought the battle, and I feel the verdict to continue to live was given to me by God for a new level, for a new stage.”
The clergy also announced a £100,000 donation to support cancer awareness and treatment, particularly for young patients.
In 2024, Adegboyega made headlines due to a controversy involving his deportation from the UK.
He reportedly lost his fight against being deported over allegations of committing fraud amounting to £1.87 million.
The clergyman dismissed the deportation claims, stating that the situation is an “ongoing issue” that will be resolved by the judges.
He further claimed that the fraud allegations originated from “disgruntled members” of his church.
