The Department of State Security Service (DSS) has denied arresting the General Overseer of Christ Embassy, pastor Chris Oyakhilome over a 5G-Coronavirus conspiracy theory, Igbere TV reports.
Earlier this week, Oyakhilome made headlines all over the country after he accused the Nigerian government of ordering lockdowns in Abuja and Lagos in order to install ‘5G’ masts which he claims are responsible for the Coronavirus pandemic.
Oyakhilome during live a programme on LoveWorld Television said; “The Federal Government was pushed to lockdown Abuja and Lagos specifically because of 5G in Abuja and Lagos. They had already tested 5G in Abuja and now they are digging in Lagos to get it ready. That is why they locked down Abuja and Lagos so that the 5G can be installed.”
“I have said before that what killed people in Wuhan, China, was not the virus but the 5G. If you say it is not, tell us how you discovered yours. The world is not dealing with a virus. This is the biggest deception in the world. You cannot hide from a virus by staying in your house”.
There were reports on Wednesday that the DSS had arrested Pastor Chris over the comments. However, spokesman for the agency, Mr Peter Afunanya said the report was not true.
“DSS did not arrest Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, please,” he said, without further comments on the clergyman’s 5G claims.
