According to a report by The Telegraph, investigations revealed financial misconduct within his church, leading to the decision.
Addressing the controversy via his Instagram page, Tobi Adegboyega said, “I’ve heard a lot today, and I’m doing this because our friends our fans people who are worried. I’m right here at home, no cause for alarm. And naturally I dismiss things that have to do with retrogression. Every Nigerian should be proud of me.
“I have survived all sort, the matter they are propagating is the smallest of matters. No panic. I love London city, it is my city, and nobody can do anything.”
