Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, a head pastor of the controversial youth church SPAC Nation, has spoken out about the recent online backlash they have received.

Recently members of the church were accused of grooming young teenage girls, by inviting only 13-16-year-olds to brunch groups. The women in question have since denied these allegations in emotional videos uploaded to social media.The church came under fire once more when Pastor Bukky published a YouTube video of a house tour, but some viewers said they had seen the same property for sale or had stayed there through Airbnb.

She also showcased her elaborate designer wardrobe, filled with items from Prada, Louis Vuitton and Van Cleef & Arpels, which many thought was wrong of a religious leader.In a casual Instagram video, Pastor Tobi gave some advice to the church and said "I completely disagree with age-bracket outreach". Adding that he doesn't think it's logical and looks bad. He says "there has to be responsible outreach", which is "parental", "legal" and "looks good".https://youtube.com/shorts/uze8etUO5hYOn a more lighthearted note, he dismissed the accusations of SPAC Nation faking a house tour.

Telling speculators not to "be silly" and suggesting that purchasing a flat and designer clothes are not beyond the church's means.Public backlash and controversy are not foreign to the church and in 2020 the BBC debuted a documentary about one of their pastors, Ms Mariam Mola, entitled 'Catch Her If You Can'. This special spoke to alleged victims of Ms Mola, who accused her of taking advantage of their vulnerability and then scamming them out of huge sums of money.However, the church also has several supporters, as shown by another BBC series called 'Escaping Gangs: Death, Jail or Redemption', where church members help several youths from troubled backgrounds turn their lives around.
