Oyedepo blasts leaders who refused to reopen churches due to COVID-19

Bishop Oyedepo Bishop Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church has blasted leaders who have refused to reopen Churches due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Recall that the Federal Government lifted the ban on religious gatherings and worship centers after weeks of being shut down.

The ban was placed by the FG to help curb the spread of coronavirus in the country that now has over 12,000 cases with 342 COVID-19 deaths.

However, some states have refused to lift the ban, one of which is Lagos State which is the epicenter of the virus in Nigeria.

This has angered Oyedepo who wondered why people won't be allowed to move on with their lives because some are dying of the virus.

He also alleged that Nigeria will soon have a "preaching censorship board"

This comes a few weeks after Oyedepo slammed the decision of the government to keep worship centers shut while markets resumed activities.
