With statistics, Bishop David Oyedepo on Saturday has backed up his claims that the re-opening of churches has led to the decrease in Coronavirus infections across the nation.

“The same way, my God will level out every everlasting mountain standing before your life. You can’t be at the base of Liberation and be a victim of captivity. From now, they will start recording zero, zero, zero cases of coronavirus.” He said.
