Nigerian Twitter Users React To False Report Bishop Oyedepo Was Denied US Visa

On the heels of President Donald Trump of the United States revealing his intention imposing a travel ban on seven countries including Nigeria, false report emanated today that Bishop Davido Oyedepo was denied a US visa.

In denial of the report, the US Embassy in Nigeria reacted to the story that the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a Winners Chapel was denied a visa by the Lagos office of the United States Embassy on Thursday, January 30.

Via its Twitter page, US Mission Nigeria wrote:

“#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.”
