The founder of the Living Faith church, Pastor David
Oyedepo has been barred from entering the United
Kingdom, according to unconfirmed reports. Oyedepo’s
barring was communicated via an ‘Airline Alert’ on
Saturday, 9 August, a source at Murtala Mohammed
International Airport told ‘ThisisAfrica’.
The alert stated that any airline that acts against the ban
will be fined £2000 (N542,000). According to reports from
Daily Mail, an inquiry by the UK Charitable Commission
accused the UK branch of Winners Chapel of cynically
exploiting supporters.
The church reportedly received £16.7 million (N4.5
billion) 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’. David O. Oyedepo is
reputed to be the richest pastor in Nigeria.
