The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has rejected a viral false statement attributed to its founder, Pastor William F. Kumuyi. The fabricated claim suggested America sought Nigeria’s natural resources while ignoring Christian persecution.
The church labeled the report from an unverified platform called “Ibomfocus” as malicious fiction. Officials confirmed the statement was entirely fabricated.
In an official release, the ministry clarified Pastor Kumuyi never made such remarks. He also didn’t hold any Lagos press conference as claimed.
According to church authorities, the respected cleric remains abroad. He’s currently conducting gospel programs across Oceania and the Far East.
The ministry reiterated Pastor Kumuyi’s exclusive focus on evangelical work. He consistently avoids political discussions or commentary.

His teachings consistently center on spiritual renewal and moral transformation. They never engage with political issues.

Legal Notice to Misinformation Spreaders
The church issued a stern warning to misinformation spreaders. This applies to individuals and platforms sharing falsehoods.
