“Who Are You, Sir?” – Deji Adeyanju Slams Pastor David Ibiyeomie Over Threats to Journalists
Activist Deji Adeyanju has publicly criticized popular clergyman Pastor David Ibiyeomie after a viral video showed the pastor threatening to arrest bloggers and journalists who speak negatively about him or his church.
In the video, Pastor Ibiyeomie warns media professionals to “watch their mouths” when speaking about men of God, saying he’ll personally ensure their arrest if they cross the line. His remarks stirred controversy, prompting Adeyanju to respond sharply.
“Who are you, sir, that people can’t talk about your church or criticize you?” Deji asked in a social media post.
“You are not above scrutiny. This is a democracy, not a theocracy. Everyone — including pastors — must be open to public accountability.”
Adeyanju’s reaction reflects growing concern over freedom of expression and press rights in Nigeria, especially when influential figures attempt to silence critics.
Many Nigerians have since joined the conversation, defending the role of the media and condemning any form of intimidation against free speech.
