popular Nigerian clergyman, Bishop David Oyedepo, has been barred from entering the United Kingdom, Thisisafrica.me repots.
According to a source at the Murtala Mohammed International
Airport, the founder and Chancellor, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun
State, who reportedly holds a ‘C’ Visa that grants him access to the UK
for duration of ten years was stopped from travelling on Saturday, 9
August, 2014, following a directive from “Airline Alert”.
The source said the alert which warned that any airline that disobeys
the ban is liable to a fine of £2000, also revealed that the reason for
it was yet to be ascertained, but suspected an inquiry by the UK
Charitable Commission which accused the UK branch of the Winners Chapel
of exploiting supporters as reported by Daily Mail and Guardian.
According to Daily Mail, Winners Chapel received £16.7 million in
donations from members who were told that God would give them riches in
return and that the members who were being transported in double-decker
shuttle buses to the church, handed slips inviting them to make debit
card payments, and are even told obeying the ministry’s teachings will
make them immune from illness.
