THE General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called for the immediate release of popular TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo (aka ‘SeaKing’) who was re-arrested on Thursday, 6 February 2025 for allegedly cyberbullying him.
While preaching at a programme in his church on Friday, 7 February 2025, the cleric said he had nothing to do with the arrest of the TikToker. He said some persons who were annoyed by SeaKing’s defamatory remarks against him took matters into their hands.
“I heard that there was someone who lambasted me thoroughly. What is my offence? Because I asked my people to fast for 100 days. I didn’t ask him oh! I didn’t even ask anybody who isn’t a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast. Only my children! God said that it would happen.
“I was told that some people got angry and went to arrest the fellow. Please, release him, he is fulfilling prophecy”, he said.
Media personality and activist, Omoyele Sowore had on Friday disclosed that Seaking was arrested over a petition written against him by one Paul James Adama for allegedly cyberbullying Pastor Adeboye.

We just departed the DIG Dasuki Galandanchi-led Federal Investigation Department (FID) of the Nigeria Police Force, where we met Olumide Ogunsanwo aka SEAKING, he was in the company of police officers who had travelled to Lagos to kidnap him. Adeyanju Deji and Marshal D F Abubakar were present as lawyers representing @Seaking and standing in for @inibehe Effiong!
To our surprise, they disclosed that Olumide’s recent ordeal resulted from alleged cyberbullying Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in a TikTok video SeaKing did in December of 2024.
According to them, one Paul James Adama, using a nebulous “Christian association or group” affiliated with Police PPRO Adejobi Olumuyiwa submitted a “petition” to their office on behalf of the General Overseer.
We asked how a TikTok video by @seaking303 could bully or frighten a whole General Overseer protected by heavenly angels and worldly security agencies, they quickly ask that “we go and come back” after Jumat prayers but apparently they have no plan to free him from their unjust custody.
Nigerians, I must state that the decline of the Nigerian police force is indeed disheartening, disgusting and frightening.
