Police personnel from the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja have arrived in Lagos to re-arrest TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as Seaking, as he appears for a separate trial at a magistrate’s court in Lagos on Tuesday, SaharaReporters has learned.
Seaking is set to be taken into custody again within the court premises over videos he allegedly made against the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore condemned the move, stating, “A Nigerian police contingent from the Police FID unit in Abuja has again laid siege to the Magistrate Court in Lagos to re-arrest Olumide Ogunsanwo over his videos against Pastor E.A. Adeboye. The police team is advised to refrain from this action and vacate the courthouse premises.”
Seaking was first arrested in December 2024 for allegedly insulting President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in widely circulated videos on social media. He was accused of cyberstalking, treason, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace. In February 2025, he was rearrested during a court appearance over alleged cyberbullying against Pastor Adeboye and transported to Abuja. The police justified the arrest, citing a petition submitted by Paul James Adama on behalf of a Christian association representing the pastor.
