After he was denied, sources told This Day that the man of God created a serious scene and questioned the reason behind the denied renewal of his visa.
According to the Newspaper, Oyedepo was said to have told the embassy that he had been traveling to the states as far back as the 1980s and had not violated any rules or committed any crime to have warranted being denied a renewal of his visa.
This DAY quoted a source as saying that the Cleric 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.

Some people are always looking for the slightest opportunity to make mockery of Bishop Oyedepo or the church. Someone even said he was denied visa over a case of corruption lol smh.
Btw while you cry over the issue, he has been issued the visa. Use your tears to mop the floor.

Someone said Bishop Oyedepo just chose to observe protocol by going to the embassy to apply for a US Visa;
That he could have chosen to stay in his house and visa will come and meet him.
You think America visa is an Ekene Dili Chukwu ticket from Lagos to Abuja?
