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.
