Bishop Oyedepo advises church members to give kidnappers his phone number
via Punch Nigeria2 min read
Bishop David Oyedepo, the Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has instructed his church members to provide his phone number to any kidnappers. He stated that he possesses the spiritual authority to ensure their release. Oyedepo shared this during a church service at the Canaanland headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, in a video clip that circulated on social media. He supported his instruction with two anecdotes of what he described as divine intervention in past kidnapping incidents involving church members. In one instance, he claimed to have warned an abductor that they would die within 24 hours if a kidnapped pastor was not released. In another account, he said a female member declared by faith she would be free by 7 a.m., and her captors began harming themselves before releasing her. Oyedepo told members they possess the same spiritual force and need to discover and deploy it.

Must ReadChina has implemented restrictions on seven European entities in the defense sector, citing their involvement in alleged arms sales or "collusion" with Taiwan. The measures, effective immediately, are intended to safeguard national security and interests and fulfill international obligations like non-proliferation, according to the commerce ministry. The curbs prohibit exports of "dual-use items" to the named entities, which include Belgian guns manufacturer FN Herstal, German defense electronics firm Hensoldt, and the Czech Republic's national aerospace research and development center, VZLU Aerospace. The ministry stated that any ongoing related activities must cease, though applications for export could be submitted in truly necessary special circumstances. An unnamed commerce ministry spokesperson clarified that the measures target only a small number of EU entities involved in military-related activities, specifically those that participated in arms sales to Taiwan or engaged in collusion with Taiwan, assuring that "law-abiding and trustworthy EU entities have absolutely no cause for concern." Beijing has increased export controls in recent years, including against 20 Japanese entities in February due to political tensions over Taiwan, and last year's curbs on rare earth exports, which caused global supply concerns. The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China warned earlier this month that Beijing’s stringent export controls pose a "long-term business risk".
