UK Govt Slams £125,000 Fine On Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's TV Channel, Loveworld by MuguVideos: 6:22pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
Authorities in the United Kingdom have slammed a £125,000 fine on Loveword TV channel, owned by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, for airing conspiracy theories about Covid-19 that were unproven. On December 1st 2020, the TV channel had aired a 29-hour programme called the Global Day of Prayer, during which several unfounded claims were made about the coronavirus pandemic. These claims included the notion that the outbreak was ‘planned’, that the ‘sinister’ vaccine can be used to implant ‘nanochips’ that can control and cause harm to members of the public and the theory that the virus was somehow caused by 5G. Following a detailed investigation by Ofcom, the communications regulatory body in the United Kingdom, it was concluded that the programme breached broadcasting rules by sharing ‘potentially harmful’ claims about COVID19. This marks the second time in a year that Ofcom has petitioned Loveworld for making unsubstantiated statements about coronavirus. In a statement released, Ofcom concluded Loveworld’s breach of broadcasting guidelines were ‘serious, repeated and reckless. The broadcasting authority said that the TV channel posed a risk of ‘serious harm’ to viewers who tuned in to watch the programme. ‘Loveworld’s failure to put these unsubstantiated statements into context risked serious harm to its audience,’ the statement said. Ofcom added that the religious channels had the ‘potential to make people question the measures put in place to curb the spread of the novel Coronavirus. ‘They had the potential to undermine confidence in public health measures put in place to tackle COVID19 at a time when cases, hospital admissions and deaths were rising in the UK, and when people were looking for reliable information given advances in the vaccination programme'' Ofcom statement read Pastor Oyakhilome has repeatedly expressed doubts about the COVID19 pandemic. Recently, he blasted Christian leaders encouraging their members to take the COVID19 vaccine.

He can now go put his, or rather, your money where he put his mouth, lol. Ofcom has found Loveworld Limited in breach of broadcasting rules on its religious service, Loveworld. In our Decision published today, Ofcom found that The Global Day of Prayer, a 29-hour programme broadcast on 1 December 2020, included potentially harmful and inaccurate claims about the Coronavirus pandemic, in breach of Rules 2.1 and 5.1 of the Broadcasting Code. By the way, he is a regular customer of Ofcom, lol. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/search?query=loveworld |
