According to a source at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, the founder and Chancellor, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, who reportedly holds a ‘C’ Visa that grants him access to the UK for duration of ten years was stopped from travelling on Saturday,
9 August, 2014, following a directive from “Airline Alert”. The source said the alert which warned thatany airline that disobeys the ban is liable to a fine of £2000, also revealed that the reason for it was yet to be ascertained, but suspected an inquiry by the UK Charitable Commission which accused the UK branch of the Winners Chapel of exploiting supporters as reported by Daily Mail and Guardian.
According to Daily Mail, Winners Chapel received £16.7 million in donations from members who were told that God would give them riches in return and that the members who were being transported in double-decker shuttle buses to the church, handed slips inviting them to make debit card payments, and are even told obeying the ministry’s teachings will make them immune from illness.
