United States Denies Bishop Oyedepo Visa Amid US Travel Ban List

Bishop David Oyedepo , the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide also known as Winners Chapel has been denied visa by the United States Embassy in Lagos.

 

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has been hard on Nigerians seeking visas.

 

A report in ThisDay also said Kris Asimonye, wife of popular comedian, Abovi Ugboma (Bovi), was also denied visa on Thursday though the comedian’s application was approved.

 

Nigerians with valid United States visas have reportedly been receiving emails from the embassy notifying them that their visas had been revoked without any explanations.

 

Two senior bank executives and several others affected confirmed the development to newsmen.

 

It was however, unclear why Oyedepo’s visa application was denied as the embassy usually does not reveal such information to a third party.

 

ThisDay also reported that no reason for the denial was stated other than the Bishop did not qualify for visa renewal in its assessment and was urged to re-apply.

 

President Donald Trump last week confirmed his intention to expand the travel ban he imposed on at least five countries when he took office.

 

Nigeria, being one of the countries where nationals apply massively for US visa, is being considered to be added to the growing list.
