COVID-19: Pastor Chris persists with 5G claims, alleges Nigerian govt ordered lockdown to install 5G network (Video)

The Senior Pastor of the Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has alleged that the Federal Government ordered the lockdown of Lagos and Abuja in order to install the controversial 5G network.

Oyakhilome, who stated this while delivering a sermon in his church on Sunday, claimed that what killed several people in Wuhan, China, was not coronavirus as had been widely reported, but the 5G network installed in the country by Chinese authorities.

The preacher challenged anyone with a different opinion to come forward and counter him on the matter.

The Christ Embassy founder also described the social distancing as a ploy by the government to keep people indoors and prevent them from protesting the installation of 5G network in Nigeria.

Wuhan came to global consciousness in December last year after the coronavirus outbreak was recorded in the Chinese city.
