A Camberwell church is cashing in with ‘exploitative’ £91 coronavirus “plague protection kits” – made of just oil and red string.

According to Bishop Climate Ministries, part of the Kingdom Church on Camberwell Station Road, the product protects buyers from coronavirus.

A post on a ministry website claims: “It is by faith that you can be saved from the Coronavirus pandemic by covering yourself with the Divine Plague Protection Oil and wearing the Scarlet Yarn on your body.

“That is why I want to encourage you, if you haven’t done so already, to get your Divine Plague Protection Kit today!”

After being contacted by this paper, the authorities said they are investigating the church’s claims.

“As you use this oil, along with a special scarlet yarn, every coronavirus and any other deadly thing will pass over you,” states the post dated March 20.

A linked payment option advertises the oil and yarn for £91. The oil is supposedly made from cedarwood, hyssop and “prayer.”

In bold red capital letters, the post states: “Use the plague protection oil for protection from coronavirus.”

A following post also signed by Mr Wiseman, dated March 25, urges believers to pay up to £900 in “sacrificial seeds” amid the coronavirus outbreak.

It links to a range of payment options, up to a whopping £910 for a “sacrificial seed of divine protection for [the] entire family.”

It begins: “Is the coronavirus making you afraid? Are you afraid that you or your loved one might get sick?”
