John Boyega’s cousin faces deportation over £1,900,000 fraud at ‘cult church’

The pastor of a church at the centre of a £1.87million fraud case has lost his deportation battle.
Tobi Adegboyega, cousin of Star Wars actor John Boyega, was head of the controversial SPAC Nation church, which ran inappropriate ‘safe houses’ for vulnerable black people.
The majority of its income did not go through a bank account, and the church has since been shut down after it was unable to account for nearly £2million of outgoings.
Now an immigration tribunal has ruled that Adegboyega should be deported to his native Nigeria after misuse of funds by his church was revealed.
He claimed deportation would breach his right under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to a family life, having married a British woman.
His lawyers also said the attempt to remove him by the Home Office failed to take account of his community work with SPAC, which ‘intervened in the lives of many hundreds of young people, predominantly from the black communities in London, to lead them away from trouble’, The Telegraph reports.
