Bishop Oyedepo Allegedly Barred From Entering Britain [Read More]

Multi-millionaire Nigerian pastor, Bishop David Oyedepo, the general supervisor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, better known as the Winners’ Chapel, was banned from entering Britain by the UK Home Office, according to sources.

Britain’s Charity Commission after initial investigations resolved that money given to Bishop Oyedepo’s church for charitable purposes were filtered to Nigeria to account the pastor’s colourful lifestyle. 

According to SaharaReporters, David Oyedepo and one of his sons had been aware of the inquiry of church finances for at least three years now.

The source added that the probe was generated after the British Charity Commission found out that the wealthy pastor had taken out more than £16 million (N4.25bn) from the UK since 2009. 

  The commission carefully screens any repatriation of church incomes, revealing that any repatriation of funds of that size was most likely illegal.

But Bishop Oyedepo demanded that he was leading a not-for-profit religious organization, “but the commission determined that he was diverting funds to engage in a series of profitable ventures.”

David Oyedepo, who is considered to be Nigeria’s richest pastor and listed as the richest televangelist in the world, keeps luxurious private jets and has several expensive cars, among many other amazing personal possessions.

In the end of summer 2014 there were gossips that the UK Home Office has banned the multi-millionaire Nigerian pastor from entering the Great Britain.

But Oyedepo claimed that this information was false: “It’s nothing but a blatant lie and falsehood,” he said on August 26, 2014, through his spokesperson.
