Tobi Adegboyega, the Nigerian-born founder of the now-defunct SPAC Nation, has revealed that he is battling cancer, following a major surgery in recent months.
In a pre-recorded sermon aired on Thursday and now making waves online, the outspoken clergyman disclosed his diagnosis to members of his congregation, The Nxtion Family.
“I was diagnosed with cancer. Yes, you heard me right,” Adegboyega said. “I’ve been dealing with cancer for the past few months or even more. I just had a major surgery, that’s why I am not there today.”
Known for his lavish lifestyle, luxury fashion, and youth-targeted evangelical outreach, Adegboyega described his recovery as a divine second chance.
“I have just fought the battle, and I feel the verdict to continue to live was given to me by God — for a new level, for a new stage,” he added.
Once a rising figure in London’s Pentecostal movement, Adegboyega built a reputation for reaching troubled youth and rubbing shoulders with celebrities. However, his ministry has long been shadowed by controversy.
In 2022, SPAC Nation was officially shut down by UK authorities after an investigation into its financial dealings. A UK court ordered the dissolution of the church, citing its failure to account for over £1.87 million in expenses.
Despite the setbacks, Adegboyega’s recent message suggests a new chapter may be unfolding — one marked by personal struggle, spiritual reflection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
