Bishop Oyedepo denied US Visa

The General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a
Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo was denied visa by the Lagos office
of the United States Embassy on Thursday January 30.

Why Bishop Oyedepo was denied a US visa by the embassy wasn’t made
clear but he was given the standard default explanation of not being
qualified for visa renewal and was urged to try again.

But ace comedian Bovi who wasdenied US visa
few weeks ago, was lucky with the embassy this time, as he was issued
the visa. However his wife, Kris Asimonye Ugboma was not as lucky as she
was denied the travelling document.

Eyewitnesses alleged that the Pastor and businessman created a scene
at the facility as he insisted that he has not violated any rules or
committed any crime to have warranted being denied a renewal of his
visa.

When Oyedepo asked his bodyguards to get his phones so he can make
some calls, he was reportedly told he can’t make calls within the
precincts of the visa-issuing section of the embassy.

Though Bishop Oyedepo is yet to publicly comment on the incident,
ThisDay reported that he told the Embassy’s authorities that he has been
traveling to the United States since the 1980s.

The report is coming days after LIB reported that President Donald
Trump confirmed his intention of imposing a travel ban on seven
countries including Nigeria.
