SeaKing’s Attorney vows to take Adeboye to court over TikToker’s detention

PUNCH

Inibehe Effiong, the lead counsel for TikToker-turned-activist Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as SeaKing, has threatened to sue the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, just hours after the church released a statement supporting the TikToker’s arrest for allegedly insulting the cleric.

In a TikTok post shared in December 2024, SeaKing criticised Adeboye for urging Nigerians to fast for 100 days, describing the directive as “stupid.”

Outraged by the post, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum, a religious youth group, petitioned the Lagos State Police Command, leading to SeaKing’s arrest in December—a move that sparked widespread backlash on social media.

However, during a recent Holy Ghost Congress service, Adeboye distanced himself from the TikToker’s arrest, claiming he was unaware of the incident or the individuals behind it.

Following his remarks, the police released SeaKing on administrative bail on Monday after his legal team initially rejected certain bail conditions.
