The General Overseer of the Living Faith Church International (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo has claimed the COVID-19 vaccine in circulation is “a deadly thing”.

He then called on the government to come to him for a solution to coronavirus.

Oyedepo stated this on Sunday during the church’s 40th-anniversary thanksgiving service in Ota.

“They should come to me to find out how to deal with COVID-19 at no cost.

“Let me warn you against this deadly thing circulated round the country. It has not been duly tested.

“An elder of this church who works with the WHO confirmed this, thanking me for always speaking the truth about the authenticity of the COVID-19 vaccine,” Oyedepo said

Oyedepo also said officials going to churches to get people vaccinated, was an “insult,” insisting that every church “is anti-COVID-19 zone”.
