Nigerian TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as Seaking, has been released from police custody in Abuja after his rearrest in Lagos. He was initially detained on allegations of cyberbullying and was taken into custody last Thursday at a Lagos State court, where he had been facing legal proceedings. Following his arrest, Seaking was transferred to Abuja.
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore confirmed Seaking's release on Monday via his X account. According to Sowore, the police had initially imposed a bail condition requiring a Level 10 or 12 civil servant as surety, which was swiftly rejected. A new agreement was reached, leading to Seaking’s release on administrative bail, with Sowore himself signing as a guarantor.
Previously, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had called for Seaking's release after his rearrest on the Lagos State court premises. Speaking during a church program on Friday, February 7, Pastor Adeboye distanced himself from the arrest, stating that some individuals angered by Seaking’s remarks took it upon themselves to take action. He urged the Nigerian police to release the social media influencer, saying, "Seaking is fulfilling prophecy."
