The Deeper Life Bible Church located at 36 Aina Street, Lawanson, Surulere, Lagos, has appealed to Nigerians for following the demolition of its church structure by the Local government.

Speaking to the press, the Parish Pastor, Pastor Israel Adeagbo, expressed concern over the development, describing it as a call for broader reflection on issues of justice, rule of law, and respect for constitutional processes.

“Since 2007, we have worshipped and served the community from this location,” Pastor Adeagbo stated. “However, in January 2024, the Surulere Local Government notified us of plans to remove our building. This occurred despite an ongoing court case concerning the matter.”

According to him, the church obtained an injunction under Suit No. YSD/4860LM/24, which he said was intended to restrain any actions pending the court’s decision. Nevertheless, he alleged that demolition activity began on May 27, 2024, with part of the church fence being taken down.

He further claimed that the church structure was fully demolished the next day, May 28, 2024, despite what he described as a “valid court order” in their favor.

“A subsequent court order dated May 27, 2025, reaffirmed our ownership and ordered the restoration of the property,” he said.

Pastor Adeagbo noted that efforts to enforce the court’s directive have so far been unsuccessful, and appealed to legal professionals, civil society groups, and religious bodies to intervene in the matter.

“We are calling for —not just as a religious organization, but as citizens seeking fairness under the law,” he said. “We possess valid documents confirming our ownership, and we trust that due process will ultimately prevail.”

Attempts to reach the Surulere Local Government for official comment were not immediately successful as of press time.

The Deeper life church is just constantly in the news nowadays.

Let God fight for you.You dont need mere mortals to fight your battles.Let Daddy take the govt to God

Pity them naaa

They should approach a competent court.

Reason for demolition?

Was any other building demolished too? if yes, then stop sounding as if government went after the church only.

Give us reason for the demolition, not all this religious sentiments.

Why demolish a church of God?

It's wrong for government to just wake up one day and then begin to demolish someone property without due process

This is too bad.
The spate of disobedience of court orders in tinubu's regime is alarming.
Anyway, this is just a glint of the worst things to expect from this regime.

I always cringe anytime I see buildings being demolished. Considering the heavy cost of cement, rods and other building materials that just wasted away like that

When did local governments start demolishing buildings and why could they not wait for the court to rule? I'm pretty certain they could not have dreamed of trying this if it had been people they know that are quick to violence.

The greed we are seeing in Lagos with these developers teaming up with useless and greedy state/lg officials is becoming something else and will soon get a befitting reaction

THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH SIR

Tubaba once said . If nobody talks about you,then you're nobody

WOW.

Lagos and demolition. Nobody is safe again.

Used to worship here during my childhood. My dad was able to coordinate the purchase of the land opposite this for the language church.

From my observation, yeah.

Every school of thought s the truth that every action attracts it's justice version(good/bad). Those ing the judicial rascality take note.
It's called law of retributive justice.

Just say "let His will be done" and move on...

Any God wey government agents strong is questionable.

Perhaps they are worshipping the wrong God and not like the God of Elijah.

Why can't people it that church is.for a social event for people to wind down after a week's work?
The purported power is non-existent. No human talks to God and God talks to no human. Should we talk
about the holy spirit that keep showing them false prophecies year after year?
Miracles and healings are just for entertainment. The Pope knew better
that's why he was hospitalized before death (end result for all)

Is this deeper life not the same as the one being superintendent over by kumuyi?
If it is why didn't they inform Kumuyi to assemble his legal team to handle the matter?
Why asking the public for justice?

Na only church they can try this with because Christians are always too timid, sheepish and docile to fight for their rights. Meanwhile the other religion children of Ismael, head slammers and the rest will defend themselves by all means.
Only Christians will believe in God to fight for them on earth and keep being maimed, killed and oppressed without consequences.

E no concern me

Aiit

One hand, aboki don appear like vulture to pick scrap materials.

Are they expecting a lawless govt to follow the law? Bad leaders do not follow the law
