A video in which Pastor Oyedepo prayed for God to break NIGERIA if it is his will has been trending for the past few days.
The billionaire man of God has come under fire after the video hit the internet. Many have attributed the Pastor's prayers to the recent killings in Kaduna.
The spokesman of the church, Dr. Sheriff Folarin issued a statement saying the video was made during a church service in 2015 and is no way connected to the present political leadership of the country or recent killings in Kaduna.
Read the statement below:
"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. 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
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".
