UK Slams £125,000 Fine On Christ Embassy After Pastor Chris Remarks On COVID-19

The United Kingdom agency responsible for regulating the media, Ofcom, says it has imposed a financial penalty of £125,000 on Christ Embassy’s Loveworld Television Network (registered as Loveworld Limited) after broadcasting inaccurate and potentially harmful information on COVID-19 “without providing adequate protection for viewers.”

Ofcom is the regulatory and competition authority that monitors broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries of the UK.

Ofcom accused Loveworld (Christ Embassy) of spreading a narrative about the coronavirus pandemic that was contrary to its own investigations.

It also denied that the pandemic as well as the covd-19 vaccines was orchestrated to hurt people.

“Ofcom has imposed a financial penalty of £125,000 on Loveworld Limited after a programme broadcast on its religious service Loveworld Television Network featured inaccurate and potentially harmful claims about the Coronavirus without providing adequate protection for viewers.

“This was the second time in a year that the broadcaster breached our rules on accuracy in news, and harm in its coverage of the Coronavirus.

“Ofcom considered these breaches to be serious, repeated and reckless, warranting the imposition of a statutory sanction beyond the direction to broadcast a statement of our findings that Ofcom issued in its Decision published 15 January 2021.

“Ofcom’s investigation found that the 29-hour programme, Global Day of Prayer, included statements claiming that the pandemic is a “planned” event created by the “deep state” for nefarious purposes, and that the vaccine is a “sinister” means of administering “nanochips” to control and harm people.

“Some statements claimed that “fraudulent” testing had been carried out to deceive the public about the existence of the virus and the scale of the pandemic. Others linked the cause of Covid-19 to the roll out of 5G technology.

“Ofcom stresses that legitimate debate about the official response to the Coronavirus pandemic is fundamental to holding public authorities to account during a global health crisis - particularly when public freedoms are curtailed and complex policy decisions are being taken. However, the inaccurate and potentially harmful claims made during this programme were unsupported by any factual evidence and went entirely without challenge.”

“Ofcom was particularly concerned that this breach followed previous, similar breaches in 2020 during the investigation of which, Loveworld Limited gave Ofcom a number of assurances as to how it would Improve its compliance procedures,” it stated on its official website seen by our correspondent on Wednesday.

The UK agency’s action against Christ Embassy came after the president of the church, Chris Oyakhilome, a notable healing cleric, warned that there was a grand plot to harm the world’s population through the covid-19 pandemic and vaccination.

In a viral video, Oyakhilome criticised Christians for believing in COVID-19 vaccine more than they believe in the word of God.

“What happened to you? Where is the word of God in your mouth? Do you realise if you believe in the word of God the way you believe in this vaccine, there will be power in your mouth? He made us healers. What’s wrong? What happened to you?” he said.

He also criticised the Nigerian government for asking religious leaders to encourage their members to receive the vaccine.

“When did we start making such recommendations to God’s people? For God’s sake, think again!

“How can they send to the churches, go tell them to take the vaccines. Listen, if I say to someone, you shall live but not die, that’s it to him. Isn’t that the Bible that you read? Isn’t that the scripture that you read? Where is your God of Elijah, your God of Moses, your God of Peter, James and John? What’s the matter with you?” he queried.

    The Man of God Pastor Chris will continue to stand and fight for the Truth.. If He’s wrong, the UK should prove him wrong with evidence of covid 19 documents and how the evidence that the vaccine is the only solution to the problem.. #ISTANDWITHPASTORCHRIS#

    You see first and foremost if there is truth in the vaccination, then it shouldn’t be compulsory nor mandates on the people.
    Pst Chris has his proofs why he thinks the vaccine is harmful and even if he never fought against the vaccine I would never have taken it. It’s a personal thing. Pst Chris has his facts, also produce your facts and go to court period.
    Believe me fighting pst Chris is tantamount to.fightimg the body of Christ because Jesus put him where he is to be our mouth piece, you guys are waisting your time and be careful because fighting the truth has a consequence.

    The Covid-19 plannedemic has fast proven to be a scam looking at the unscientific nature and the politicization of the scam-demic which has fast become a a tool of oppression and control of people and nations, especially the less powerful ones.

    The WHO told the world that the vaccine would take about 3and half to 4 years to be fully ready for use but just within months afterwards, an experimental vaccine was launcheyand forced on the people. Is this science?

    They also said that you would need 1 or 2 jabs to be protected from being infected and infecting others with the so called virus. Today, people have lost count of the number of jabs they have taken and more are still been forced on them in the name of boaster shots.

    Now, tell me, what’s the effectiveness in a vaccine that can’t protect you from being infected or prevent you from spreading the virus after been severally fully vaccinated.

    Why is it that while the fully vaccinated are dieing and having new strains developing due to the RNA vaccins given to them, the big pharmaceuticals are reporting profits in the billions of dollars (so much for the care of humanity).
    Recently, we have seen the lies and double standards of world leaders who pretends to champion this “noble” cause of saving the the world from a disease that was engineered by men and sponsored by organisation without investigating and bring the criminals to justice, yet they can fine and arrest people who speak against and expose their evil plots.

    If this virus exit or is half as serious as they claim, why would the very same UK prime.minister who is imposing lock downs and social distancing and face masking, be organising parties at 10 downing Street where they are supposed to be watching and caring for the vulnerable ones?

    This whole Covid-19 scam is just a ploy for state capture and to deny humanity thir God given freedom and they have failed even before they began.

    It’s all Nonsense, what they are doing and it’s only Ending up a FIASCO.

    He speaks the truth and the word of God. The law is built upon the Bible in the UK and the Queen supports the Bible. You either believe the Bible or you don’t.
