Oyedepo’s Visa Denial Reports Not True, Says US Embassy
The United State Embassy in Nigeria, has denied media reports that it denied the founder of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo entry visa to travel.
Earlier report on BIGPEN sourced from THEWILL, says the embassy, however, denied him the document, stating that the he did not qualify for visa renewal. He was also urged to try again later.
The report credited to ThisDay, stated that as the embassy didn’t give precise reasons, Oyedepo was said to have made a scene. He was said to have flared up and queried the embassy’s officials on the grounds for the denial.
A source was quoted to have said that he argued he had been traveling to the US since the 80s and had neither violated any rule nor committed any crime that prompted the denial of his visa renewal.
The paper also reported that while ace comedian, Abovi Ugboma, popularly known as Bovi was issued a visa, his wife, Kris Asimonye, was denied.
However, a statement by the embassy on Friday denied the report as it tweeted:
#FalseNews Alert! Be advised, the reports making the rounds about a visa being denied to Nigerian Bishop Oyedepo are false.
“If you have seen this manufactured item in the media, help defeat this #misinformation by communicating to everyone that it is completely false”.
