The UK Home Office has barred the spiritual head of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo from entering the United Kingdom pending the outcome of an investigation against its UK branch.
According to a report monitored in the Daily Mail and Guardian, the UK Charitable Commission, believes the UK arm of the church is 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’.
The report also noted that any airline that allows the preacher fly in its plane to the United Kingdom will be fined of £2000 .
Below is an alert by the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos to the effect.
