In other news, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega has finally responded to his critics, and his message was as blunt as it gets. Unfortunately for him, five people have taken him up on it.

The celebrity pastor recently addressed people who have been calling him and members of his church out on social media. In a video shared online, he said he usually does not respond to public criticism because he does not consider most of the issues serious enough to warrant a response.

However, he said he decided to speak this time because some of his friends had become concerned about the allegations being made online.

Addressing those who claim that members of his church have done something wrong, Adegboyega said they should report such matters to the police or take them to court instead of discussing them on social media.

He also criticised people who, according to him, use his name to attract attention while displaying documents and making allegations online.

Adegboyega said he would be happy to see anyone who had genuinely committed an offence dealt with by the appropriate authorities, but questioned why some of those making the allegations online had not reported the matters to the police.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.

Pastor Tobi is now regretting his choice of words because five people have officially filed lawsuits against him and his church. He was expecting the usual social media noise, not actual legal documents. His team has reportedly been in emergency meetings since yesterday, and he has been advised to stop making videos until further notice. He told critics to go to the police, and they went straight to court instead.
