REVEALED: SEAKING in Endless Police Detention Over Cyberbullying Against Pastor E.A. Adeboye
There have been more revelations about the endless detainment of Olumide Ogunsanwo known as SEAKING.
According to Activist and AAC leader Omoyele Sowore, Olumide’s recent ordeal resulted from alleged cyberbullying against Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, in a TikTok video Seaking did in December of 2024.
This revelation is against the original allegations leveled against SEAKING by the Nigerian Police.
The TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo alias Seaking who was previously detained at the Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri despite bail application granted by a magistrate court in Lagos was later rearrested within the court premises the day the bail conditions were perfected, according to his lawyer Inibehe Rgfiong.
He was arrested on 20th December, 2024 by the Nigeria Police Force and taken to the Ogba Magistrate Court in Lagos on 23rd December, 2024 to be remanded for 30 days for alleged treason, cyberstalking over his viral TikTok video againstthr police.
According to his lawyer "We opposed the remand application and he was granted bail instead by the very courageous Magistrate. However, due to the Christmas and new year holidays and administrative reasons, we could not perfect his bail immediately."
The day the bail perfection process was concluded and his release warrant signed, he was rearrested within the court premises and was later flown Abuja.
His lawyer Inibehe Rgfiong wrote: "We were before the Magistrate Court of Lagos State sitting in Ogba today, Thursday the 6th day of February, 2025 in respect of the remand proceedings instituted by the Nigeria Police Force against our client, Mr. Olumide Ogunsanwo alias Seaking."
"After the day’s proceedings, Seaking was rearrested within the court premises and taken to the State Police Command, Ikeja before he was subsequently taken to the Murtala Muhammad Airport from where he is being flown to Abuja."
"Seaking was first arrested on 20th December, 2024 and taken before the Magistrate Court on 23rd December, 2024 for remand. We opposed the application for remand for 30 days and the court refused the application."
The Learned Magistrate admitted Seaking to bail and ordered the police to forward a duplicate copy of the case file to the DPP for legal advice. The matter was then adjourned to 16th January, 2025 for report of the DPP Advice.
On 16th January, 2025, we were in court with Seaking but there was no representation for the prosecution. The court further adjourned the proceedings to today, 6th February, 2025.
A police prosecutor appeared today and pleaded for adjournment to enable them file proof of compliance with the order of the court. The Magistrate granted the application and gave the police seven days to file proof of compliance. The case was then adjourned to the 25th day of March, 2025 for report of compliance.
"It is utterly condemnable that the same Nigeria Police Force that initiated an ongoing legal proceedings in Lagos would brazenly rearrest our client who is on bail granted by the court and move him to Abuja."
"We call on the Inspector General of Police to put an end to this outrageous charade and egregious abuse of the legal process and order the immediate release of Seaking."
"The fact that the Nigeria Police Force that is supposed to be Nigeria’s primary law enforcement agency is actively leading the assault on the rule of law is evidence of the alarming state of impunity and lawlessness in the country." Inibehe Rgfiong said in a signed statement.
Sowore in a social media post confirmed that the SEAKING is in Police Custody because of RCCG General Overseer.
His post: 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 traveled to Lagos to kidnap him. Adeyanju Deji and Marshal D F Abubakar we 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 against 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.
