Evacuation: US Missionary Blasts Pastor Adeboye over Donation to Tinubu Administration

The church said the donation will cover 500 one-way tickets for Nigerians affected by xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks.

  • The Redeemed Christian Church of God , led by Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, donated $265,854 to the Federal Government to fund the evacuation of 500 distressed Nigerians from South Africa.
  • Persistent xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks in South Africa prompted the evacuation; around 1,640 Nigerians have been evacuated since April when the violence began.
  • On Thursday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Olufemi Adeniyi confirmed the donation in a statement. Last week, 67 Nigerians were repatriated as the latest in the ongoing exercise.
  • Missionary Alex Barbir condemned the church's contribution, calling it "an act of slavery" and questioning why Christian leaders support government-led interventions while insecurity persists in Nigeria.
  • Investigations remain pending regarding the deaths of Amaramiro Emmanuel and Emeka Iroegbu, as the government continues collaborating with faith-based organizations like the RCCG to address broader social challenges.
