Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator, has sanctioned LoveWorld Television Ministry, a Christian network founded by Chris Oyakhilome, for airing “potentially harmful statements” about the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ofcom said the LoveWorld programme also echoed claims from US president Donald Trump that an anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, was a cure for the virus. “We have imposed a sanction on the broadcaster, requiring it to broadcast statements of our findings. We are considering whether to impose any further sanction,” the statement added.
The church has at least 90 branches in the UK and an estimated 13 million followers around the world, according to one estimate.
Let's have some more comment
But he was right.
If this sanctions have come from Nigerian government,they would have said is because Buhari hate Christians...even pastors are humans and they should make informed fact based comments in public.
Please can you tell PFN and Ibiyeomi that they are lawless and hold authority in disdain which is against the word of God they're pretending to uphold, and in line put people lives in danger! If they are in UK or others, they'll have been proscribed and their churches shut!
Since nbcgovng is sleeping, any goat can broadcast anything without fact and get away with it. It just tells how useless the regulator is.
Considering that Loveworld operates in the UK, The Lead Pastor can be sued for any inappropriate utterances and he would be apprehended if he steps foot in the UK. I wish he know how these things work when u have branches internationally. Discipline is expected

Nawa ooo this man issues again 🤦♂️😀
Does the road to heaven pass through UK?
UK regulator could not sanction WHO For incompetence. The had failed woefully
We are not surprised. You and covid 19 are inside one box but some people are wiser and smarter because we don't work with the senses of this world. I stand with Pastor Chris.....he's is wiser than you all!
Meanwhile Nigeria keeps enabling these so called preachers to make all sort of claims, challenge the government in all manner, cos they know, no sanction will come their way.
He thinks they look at face in UK.
the uk really said “you better mind yourself before you kill everybody” and i stan
If it was Nigerian government that sanction him, the headline could have been different.
He was spreading misleading information and he got punished for it period.
The lord is good,all the time
Sadly in Nigeria, you people would've made it look like the govt is after him coz the president is a Muslim.
In everything you do, try not to mislead the public, most especially on matters relating to public.
Is only in Nigeria that those pastors feel they can say anything and go free. If you have followers and want to incite them against the government in name of God, is a crime.
In Nigeria overt religousity, ignorance and superstition rule the day. Hoping our govenement sanctions the excesses of LoveWorld here also. Churches like these undermine the state and its citizens.
People are dying in Nigeria and channel TV can never report it bcoz of politics, herdsmen are killing people in south south, east and west.. This is not what we Nigerians need right now, channel tv is disappointing to Nigerians
Father lord,our leader has failed us,they have sold us out.please give them wisdom and your fear to leads us right ijn
Father of the fatherless arise in your power and disgrace your enemy that want to use human being as form of laboratory experiments ijn
Channel TV is the problem and the worst thing that happened to Nigerians, channel can never report the truth face of things that surrounds situations. The truth is bitter but gat to be said, pst. Oyakilome is speaking truth weda u like it or not, they can't stop him of truth.
We need to chill abit sometimes and read the news, the sanction was an official request to broadcast an official opinion to balance an earlier broadcast....it's a quite simple and clear sanction stop the mockery ...
Nice
Islamization of the UK...
ogundamisi Pastor Chris thought his church is only in Nigeria where anything goes. Impunity, spreading false news and propaganda, will definitely put you in troubles over there...
People will be saying trash all in the name of 'freedom of speech'.... But as I've always said : Freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom after speech isn't guaranteed.
There are other news... We r tired of anything linked to cleric or religion🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶Post topics like stimulus for Nigerians living at base-line. Post things that will invigorate, especially, considering our mental health (some of us have Suicidal thoughts).
I said this before here that Pastor Chris will never try to step foot in Canada or any sane country and spew the misleading hokum he broadcasted about 5G and Covid19, worse was gullible members were applauding him , Chris will be one of the first to broadcast on a 5G !
No be everywhere you go try dat nonsense.
Catholic and Anglican Churches are not in a hurry to reopen? Only privately owned Churches are, why?
Something said almost or a month, is it now that the UK heard about it? How about others who had said same thing or had same claim, the news was all over the world, will they sanction those ones too? Whereas that was his opinion/suggestion, nd everyone is entitled to his opinion
Different between anointed and pulpit performer however annoited Speak from holy spirit. A pulpit performer always speaks on own base personal values. Covid- 19 actually came to expose pastor who are not preaching from holy spirit.
I smell rat!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a minister of the gospel, mind your business and focus on winning souls and knowing the mind of God in times like this. Stop engaging in unnecessary conspiracy theory when your members are hungry. LoveWorld hasn't contributed anything towards Covid-19 relief anywhere.
He should have just stuck with the gospel strictly, but Coro has exposed all of em... Thanks Coro
Religion sells where government is sleeping. Where govt is working, religion is irrelevant. In Nigeria, clergys and politicians are same cultists changing masks to keep the people in perpetual poverty for steady manipulation. But then the slaves are dead obsessed to the chains
The man simply wants to be relevant again after the shame 5G theory... I tot he sees vision, why was he not able to see this one even wt d aid of a movie?
But i watched a video he made, sayin he now knows better, dat 5G isnt related to d COVID19, but he thinks it has hazards, dat we shld be careful...
Show us mercy oh Lord 🙏
I watched him today as he claimed wearing masks for too long leads to CO2 poisoning and 'they' know it. He forgets doctors do 12 hour surgeries with masks on in more difficult circumstances than healthcare workers

They busy deceiving Nigerians with their fake prophecy, thanks for UK
Does it change anything ?
Since April? That means you guys are just waking up. Is the opinion of covid-19 for people that agrees with what you believe or what? Hahahaha. How can you sanction the anointing. Something that is global and just UK is coming with a this sanction. We're ready. Nonsense
iamtennygee Cliff_Ogun. In order?
I guess they're part of the plot with China, Bill Gates etc Keep of that MOG, else u die untimely
This is the kind of falsehood that Channels Tevelishion likes airing. I am 100% with Pastor Chris' assertion.
Let’s see if he will call down hell fire on the UK Authority!!!
For what? He has freedom of speech. Perhaps, covid 19 is all planned for business purposes(Money) UK pls stay aside
He went way off

If na 9ja, attacking the body of Christ
Them no born them well.... Every one has his own opinion to any issue on ground so they have no right to do what ever comes to their head .
In Nigeria, they will call it attack on the 'body of christ'
Hmm! This is serious.
