By The presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo has said he won’t take the COVID-19 vaccine.
Oyedepo, speaking on Saturday during his church’s Hour of Prayer service, said it is immoral to force people to take the vaccine, adding that those behind vaccination are confused.
“I have never seen a generation where you force people to take vaccines. It is inhuman; it is immoral sir. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think it is legal. You can’t come to my house and want to give me injection,” he said.
“On what? Did I invite you? They are confused. But the church has the answer. Did you see any outbreak of virus here? How will it enter the gate? Will it come through the air? How? One woman just got down after that injection in Kaduna. What kind of life? Are human beings now turned to guinea pigs?
“The world is confused but the church is lighted. So the triumph of the church will humble the pride of the world. They don’t know what to do sir. In the last days, the church will be reigning in power and glory. That is God’s agenda.”
The cleric, considered one of the popular coronavirus skeptics in the country for his earlier controversial claims and comments, argued that the church has the answer to some of the challenges facing the world, saying his job is to expose the devil and its agents.

“No apologies. There is a big, big bird in our land, saying “don’t take it, they are deceivers. Let me see someone who will come and inject me. By who? Are you going to tie my hands. How? Did I invite you? I know you are quiet, you will hear more of it. My job is to expose the devil and tell his agents “get off, we are not guinea pigs.”
