UK Government Denies Investigating Bishop Oyedepo But…


             Bishop David Oyedepo has been wrongly accused of being banned from the UK, and the Bishop had waved it off as a silly imagination from some set of persons, the British government has come out to tell it all about his church, Winners Chapel.

Responding to an email enquiry, the commission’s spokeswoman, Sarah Hitchings said, "We are not ‘investigating’ the charity. In the terms of our regulatory work, an ‘investigation’ is another word for ‘statutory inquiry’, the highest level of our investigatory work.

"We are not investigating Winners Chapel; we have an operational case open into the charity."

"It has taken some time for the review to scrutinise the information available to determine the extent of any regulatory concerns.

"We have now met with the trustees, and are satisfied that we have no regulatory concerns relating to conflicts of interest and the reputation management of the charity. We are still considering financial information supplied by the charity to reach a conclusion on the issue of financial management,” the spokeswoman stated.

"At this stage, we cannot comment on the details of the case; however, it is our usual policy to report on the outcomes of our work once we have reached a conclusion. Please note, we are not ‘investigating’ the charity."
