Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has hit out at his fellow pastors for complying with government’s directive on suspension of church activities amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Ban on congregational worship and mass gathering are parts of precautionary measures put in place by government to curtail the spread of the virus.
However, Oyakhilome in a telecast to his church members said pastors should have had none of it.
He alleged his colleagues of lapping up the ban because government promised to compensate them, attributing the elusive solution to the marauding virus to the closure of the church.
He said in part, “Because they said there would be compensation for the period of the lockdown. What compensation can be enough to replace the praise and worship of the congregation? I hope you have enjoyed the time so far, only you in the cathedral did online transmission. Hope you enjoyed it so far? But thank you very much for what you did to the House of God.”
