The United States embassy in Nigeria on Friday refuted the claim that it denied visa to David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church.
ThisDay had on Thursday reported that the embassy denied the cleric the document, stating that he did not qualify for visa renewal. He was also urged to try again later.
According to the report, Oyedepo was said to have created a scene, demanding from embassy’s officials the grounds for the denial of his visa application.
But on Friday, the embassy via its verified Twitter page described the report as “completely false.”
The tweet read, “#FalseNews Alert! Be advised, the reports making the rounds about a visa being denied to Nigerian Bishop Oyedepo are false. If you have seen this manufactured item in the media, help defeat this #misinformation by communicating to everyone that it is completely false.”
