According to a report by thisisafrica, Nigeria's wealthiest pastor, Bishop David Oyedepo has been barred from entering the United Kingdom. Details below:
It is not known for sure as at the time of writing what
prompted the barring, but it may be connected to an inquiry by the UK
Charitable Commission, which, according to Daily Mail and Guardian, accused
Oyedepo’s Winners Chapel UK branch of ‘cynically exploiting supporters’.
The Daily Mail report revealed that Oyedepo’s Church ‘received £16.7 million in donations from followers who were told that God would give them riches in return’ and that ‘Followers are ferried 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’.
