A scary revelation was made yesterday evening as investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo says that many members of Winners Chapel also Known as Living Faith Church Worldwide are down with covid19.
He said they contracted the disease during the annual church convention tagged ‘Shiloh.’
Sadly, he says, they are all too scared to reveal their status to the church management.
According to Soyombo,
“This worker didn’t want to physically attend Shiloh, held from December 8 to 13, but had no alternative because the church made it compulsory for workers. As can be seen from internet videos, congregants mingled with one another without masks or social distancing.
“In the past, the church observed safety protocol such as social distancing, wearing of face masks and hand washing. However, at Shiloh, no precautionary measures were in place.
“People were just careless,” he said. “Yes, many people didn’t come this year because of COVID but those in attendance were careless.
“The problem is this worker knows the pastors currently exhibiting symptoms of the virus will not admit this to the Founder & Presiding Bishop, meaning other potentially infected but asymptomatic Shiloh congregants might continue mixing with people without caution.
“Some Winners pastors are down with COVID; they’re just keeping it to themselves but we can’t just fold our hands,” he said. The plea from him is that those who attended Shiloh “should try to isolate themselves and try not to pass on the virus.
“His wish is for people to get educated that the festive season is no excuse for them to physically attend crossover services without recourse to COVID-19 safety protocol.”
Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu had earlier in the day, raised an alarm about the rising cases of new infections.
