Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a. Winners’ Chapel International, Bishop David Oyedepo has denied a report that he incited Christians to take up arms against Muslims while speaking on the Southern Kaduna crisis.

There had been reports that the Bishop said that Nigeria should break up if that is the will of God.

In a statement issued by the Chairman, Editorial and Media Board of the church, Dr. Sheriff Folarin, the Bishop said the video from which the quotes were taken was in a 2015 video when churches, including Winners’ Chapel’s Northern assemblies were under frequent attacks by Boko Haram.

“This was before the present administration took office,” he said.

“The message bears no relevance to today’s happenings; not even developments of 2016.

“The reporter(s), either being completely unprofessional, lazy or simply wicked, made the 2015 message look like a 2017 church service message.

“The trending video is NOT a 2016 or 2017 video.

“To this end, we can unequivocally and authoritatively say that this quote, the report and other similar reports do not fit the context of the Kaduna crisis or any developments whatsoever in the last one year.

“The reports are, therefore, fake, unbelievably and maliciously fabricated and outright lies. They are tweaked, baseless and fraudulent.

“Bishop Oyedepo has not said, either in private or public, anything related to the Southern Kaduna killings; not now, not hitherto.

“If there has been anything done, it has been prayer for peace and unity of Nigeria.

“The intent of the original author(s) or fabricators is best known to them.”

He said you should kill thy neighboure

Where are all those hailing him.....
The truth is religious leaders should be mindful what they say irrespective of the trigger regarding the volatile country we live in.

I said it.

That it was an old message.

All these bloggers should be careful.

You will get hits, paper will sell and people will die.

Then u know u just made blood money.

Mtchewww. If Nigeria can convert 80% of our mega church buildings & mosques to industries, Nigeria would be a successful and peaceful country!

Why did he make such statement at first instance when he knew fully well that his words will go a long way

nice one from the church

But without being told christains need to defend themselves... No particular religion should think they have a monopoly of violence

Fear fear man

There's a huge line between defence and murder!

I knew it was a false news, all this bad belle journalist don't mind tainting ones image just so they could have something to report

moneylords:
When and where did he say it?

I watched the video

that idiot barcanister can now take his mental drugs

Teacher: Who is Tonye?

Student: Tonye is a goat.

Someone had proven in the previous thread that the video was since 2015.

One wonders what the mischief makers were up to by making it seem recent. Obviously, people are gaining from the instability in the country and would stop at nothing to cause religious rifts amongst us.

Sadly, we fall for it all the time.

Na soooo

Does it matter the year the message was preached?, it could still be applicable in this horrible Kaduna crisis.

I don't care all i know is that there will be no peace for fulani marauders in this life.
