Respect the Law and the law will respect you. Police warns Pastor Oyedepo

The police in Ogun State have sent solid admonition to Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) over his arrangement to revive his congregation. 

We review that Bishop Oyedepo, in a viral video, on Friday, said he had announced places of worship open, saying anyone against the reviving of houses of worship will pass on.

Oyedepo's Living Faith Church is headquartered in Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government region of Ogun State.

In a hidden reference to Oyedepo, the police said they have data that some strict pioneers in Ogun are getting ready to open their strict habitats for individuals to merge.



This, the police said was in absolute defiance to both the state and central government orders.

An announcement by the state Police Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said engaged such strict pioneers to have a difference in heart, saying "security organizations in the state will see the opening of love focuses with all earnestness."



Oyeyemi said the police would not endure any demonstration fit for subverting the assurance of the state and central government to battle Coronavirus to a halt, focusing on that "the prohibition on all types of get-together be it social or strict is still in power."


The statement reads:
“It has come to the notice of Ogun State Police Command that some religious leaders in the state are preparing to open their various religious centers for people to converge in total disobedience to both the state and federal government directives.

“The command hereby appeals to such religious leaders in both Islamic and Christian faith who may be having such intention to have a change of mind because the security agencies in the state will view such with all seriousness.
“The command will not tolerate any act capable of undermining the determination of the state and federal government to fight the COVID 19 pandemic to a standstill.
“The commissioner of police, therefore, wish to use this medium to remind all religious leaders that the ban on all forms of gathering; be it social or religious is still in force. He also admonished all and sundry to cooperate with the government in its efforts to make the state coronavirus-free.”
