The General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, otherwise known as Winners’ Chapel International, Bishop David Oyedepo, was on Thursday reportedly denied visa to enter the United States of America.
Media report says while other Nigerians got the US Visa same day Oyedepo was unlucky, the American embassy in Lagos did not give any other reason except the standard default explanation that the Bishop did not qualify for visa renewal in its assessment and urged him to try again.
The drama hat ensued reportedly began when the furious preacher approached the embassy official to query the rationale behind his denial of the travelling document.
An insider said he told the embassy he had been traveling to the states as far back as 1980s and had not violated any rules or committed any crime to have warranted being denied a renewal of his visa.
According to the source, he immediately sent for his bodyguards to get his phones so he could make some calls, but the embassy allegedly told him he could not make calls within the precincts of the visa-issuing section of the embassy.
Embassy sources however hinted of the possibility that the popular preacher might have made some calls to individuals that would intervene on his behalf and the visa eventually issued.
