US Embassy Speaks On Oyedepo’s Visa

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has rebuffed reports that the Founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop Oyedepo was denied a visa to the United States.

The report which caught social media like a storm was reported by Thisday in its edition on Friday.

According to This Day, the embassy denied Oyedepo visa because the bishop did not qualify for visa renewal in its assessment.

This DAY quoted a source as saying that the Cleric immediately sent for his bodyguards to get his phones so he could make some calls, but the embassy allegedly told him he could not make calls within the precincts of the visa-issuing section of the embassy.

Oyedepo according to the report was said to have told the embassy that he had been traveling to the states as far back as the 1980s and had not violated any rules or committed any crime to have warranted being denied a renewal of his visa.

But reacting to the development, the US mission in a statement on twitter said:
