A Nigerian lady, identified simply as Oluwafunmilade, is mourning her mom’s friend who recently died of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease.

Oluwafunmilade in a post via her Twitter handle, @_oluwafunmilade, said the deceased – an usher with the Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel – was diagnosed with the disease after returning from the church’s crusade, Shiloh 2020.

WuzupNigeria recalls that Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder and leader of the ministry, had earlier said the devil is using the COVID-19 pandemic to attack the church of Christ.

Oyedepo, while delivering his new year’s sermon in his church in Ota in Ogun State, described the pandemic as a global conspiracy.

The pastor, who has always condemned the protocols put in place to contain the spread of the virus, said:

“When the church goes against a man, his destiny is finished. When the church goes against a system, that system will crash.

“Men and brethren, there is nothing in Covid-19. One of the governors was making some statements recently and said, ‘We have only had five cases since the noise began. So, where is Covid-19?

“One governor was also quoted as saying, ‘I saw people at National Identification Card area, no distancing, no nothing and how much more the church of God where there is order’.

“There is no Covid-19 in National Population Card Centre. There is no social distancing in the market. There is nowhere to wash hands or wash nose and even the officials who are in charge are also buying things there.

“What I think they don’t know is that the church has changed level. When the church launches an attack against anyone or system, that system crashes. Thank God we have prevailed.”

But Oluwafunmilade, in her Twitter reaction, wrote:
