Bishop Oyedepo Allegedly Barred From Entering Britain
Multi-millionaire Nigerian pastor, Bishop David Oyedepo, the general supervisor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, better known as 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 colorful lifestyle.
According to SaharaReporters pastor 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 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 televangelists in the world, keeps a luxurious private jet and has several expensive cars, among many other amazing personal possessions.
