US Denies Bishop Oyedepo Visa… More Nigerians Hit With Ban
The United States Embassy in Lagos has denied renowned preacher, Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners’ Chapel International visa in what appears to be an escalation of President Trump’s anti-immigrant stance.
A report in ThisDay also said Kris Asimonye, wife of popular comedian, Abovi Ugboma (Bovi) was also denied visa Thursday even though the comedian’s application was approved.
According to a report in THEWILL, “the United States embassy in Nigeria has been hard on Nigerians seeking visas. THEWILL can also authoritatively report that Nigerians with valid United States visas have been receiving emails from the embassy notifying them that their visas have been revoked without any explanations. Two senior bank executives affected confirmed the development to THEWILL”.
It was however unclear why Oyedepo’s visa application was denied. The embassy usually does not reveal such information to a third party.
The newspaper said its source did not give any other reason except the standard default explanation that the Bishop did not qualify for visa renewal in its assessment and urged him to try again.
President Donald Trump last week confirmed his intention to expand the travel ban he imposed on at least five countries when he took office. Reports suggested that Nigeria could be included.
