THE United Kingdom’s Communications Regulator, Ofcom, 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,” Ofcom added.Oyakhilome’s Loveworld, also known as Christ Embassy, is based in Lagos, but has operations in several countries across the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
In footage of sermons circulated on social media during the pandemic, Oyakhilome was seen criticising lockdown measures and casting aspersions on the value of a vaccine.
