Oyedepo: Northern Youths demand immediate arrest of Winners Chapel founder

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has called for the arrest of Bishop David Oyedepo.

Oyedepo is the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide.

A statement Wednesday evening by Yerima Shettima, AYCF National President, said the cleric was still walking the streets of Nigeria freely despite flouting the federal and state governments’ ban on large gatherings over the coronavirus outbreak.

He noted that Oyedepo mobilized a huge crowd of people at Canaan in Ibadan for so-called religious activities, in flagrant disobedience of the directives, following the spread of Covid-19 virus pandemic.

The group declared that there was no justification for bringing a large crowd of people together in the name of worship at a time the greatest number of deaths have been recorded because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The youths stated that it was callous violation of the Nigerian government’s safety instructions at this critical moment.

“Pastor Oyedepo has openly shown not only his disdain for the rule of law but also the value of human life. He has chosen to endanger the lives of many of his innocent followers by deliberately refusing to be guided in face ofthis global pandemic

“We therefore challenge Pastor Oyedepo to tell us if he did not take advantage of his closeness to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in this flagrant disobedience to Nigerian laws and the United Nation’s Charter on the safety of human lives.

“He owes this nation full explanation for being the only Nigerian to indulge in creating a gathering of the Ibadan Canaan magnitude, when the restriction of movement is respected all over world because of the current pandemic.

“We therefore share the view of all prominent Nigerians that this Pastor should be promptly arrested for endangering the lives of innocent Nigerians, recklessly using religion as a cover.

“We hope the Nigerian security agencies will swing into action so that the prompt arrest of this callous clergyman would serve as a deterrent to others”, it read.

AYCF insisted that no Nigerian regardless of his/her social standing should get away with endangering anyone’s life, using religion as a smokescreen for achieving dangerous goals.

So the Iman who also didn't obey the same law should remain free and congratulated?

Nigerians are too blind.

This man of dog, Thieving Pastor Oledepo, intoxicated with the vast wealth that he has acquired by taking money from the desperate poor, imagines himself to be smarter than the entire scientific community now urging the entire planet to go into lock-down as a virus preventative measure.

Frightened that the government mandated dispersal of his gullible flock will affect his ability to rake in mountains of free cash, the greedy pastor chose to DEFY the Nigerian government directive, by insisting that his impoverished cash donors continue showing up in his cattle-shed church, so as to continue feeding his insatiable greed for free money, all in the name of Jeeeeeeeesus, naturally.

While this writer does not ascribe to ANY formalized modality of religious worship, the stand taken by Nigeria's northern Islamic youths, who are demanding the immediate arrest of Pastor Oledeopo, is highly commendable, give the severity of the lethal consequences that could arise from a mass disregard of the Nigerian government's standing ORDER instructing ALL citizens to retreat into the relative safety of their homes, while the contagion rages across our fragile planet, decimating human life as it progresses.

I support, he is the most useless and Stuipd pastor in the history of the world

Who be all these Northern youths self?

What will Oyedepo arrest do for FG? They should leave the baba alone coz I’m very sure he already recognized his mistake and won’t hold any more mass Sunday service again until we see the end of Coro-baby.

babajeje123:

Bishop should be arrested because the northern almajiris said so? Abeg, what should happen to your senators who refused to be examined at the airport? What should happen to Buhari who refused to ban in-bound flights because of his daughter and Kyari? Yeye dey smell.

Mishael42019:
it will never be well with you in this life or next.

With this your post go mark it on the wall, suffering and extremely poverty shall be in your generation even to your seventh generation. You will work like elephants and eat like ant until you’re cut off from the face of the earth.

God’s judgement has come upon you and your likes that are on this forum that have sworn to bring insults to the body of Christ

If I be a Man of God!

Who is FG?
Is it the FG that is currently running helter-skelter from coronavirus?
I bet everyone will deny being the FG or presidency at this time.

I was driving on a freeway earlier today and everybody was just overspeeding and I saw a high way patrol sleeping in his car, obviously didn't give a damn. Who wan pull drivers over for overspeeding when you no know who carry coronavirus.

Jakumo:


Yes, I sincerely believe that Thieving Pastor Oledepo is a clear and present THREAT to public safety, on the basis of his misleading exhortations sent out to his flock of gullible sheep, and therefore, the miracle pastor is eminently qualified to be locked up in a nice cozy jail cell, where his idiotic pronouncements will only be heard by the cockroaches and rats that share his new accommodation.

Please lock up Thieving Pastor Oledepo as a public service, with immediate effect. God breast Nigeria.
