Be advised, the reports making the rounds about a visa being denied to Nigerian Bishop Oyedepo are false. https://twitter.com/USEmbassyAbuja/status/1223227551004418048?s=19 RE: US Embassy Reacts To Bishop Oyedepo Visa Denial Report. Says It's Fake News - Edoman - 01-31-2020 I was never denied US visa – Bishop Oyedepo Bishop David Oyedepo, the senior pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, has denied reports claiming he was refused a visa by the US Embassy. Earlier today, Thisday newspaper published a report claiming the clergyman was denied a visa at the United States embassy in Lagos state. However, a statement released by the Chairman of the church’s editorial and media board, Prof. Sheriff Folarin, said Oyedepo was never at the US Embassy or Consulate on Thursday and was never denied a visa. Read the statement below Quote:Mainstream and online media spaces this morning were abuzz with the news that Bishop David Oyedepo was denied entry visa to the United States on Thursday, January 30, 2020. We wish to put it on record and categorically submit that this piece of information is NOT TRUE. RE: US Embassy Reacts To Bishop Oyedepo Visa Denial Report. Says It's Fake News - Edoman - 02-04-2020 ThisDay suspends two deputy editors over Oyedepo US visa report The management of ThisDay Newspapers Limited has suspended indefinitely two of its deputy editors, Mr. Yemi Ajayi and Mr. Olawale Olaleye, over the false report about the United States’ embassy denying Bishop David Oyedepo, senior pastor of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, visa. The report which was published last Friday January 31st, claimed the 65-year-old clergyman was denied US visa and in anger, created a scene at the embassy. However, the newspaper said the deputy editors were suspended after it investigated the publication and found that they “failed to follow its well-established traditions of carrying out the necessary checks and confirmations expected of personnel of their status in a sensitive story of that nature.” Oyedepo and the US embassy have both denied the report. Oyedepo in his statement said he has not visited the United States Embassy this year. The newspaper has since published an apology to the cleric for the embarrassment the story might have caused him. |
