Pastor Kumuyi Finally Speaks, Clarifies Statement Linked to Him After Trump’s Threat on Nigeria

The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has strongly denied a viral report alleging that its General Superintendent, Pastor William Kumuyi, accused the United States of attempting to steal Nigeria’s natural resources and dismissed claims of Christian genocide in the country.

The controversial report, published by an online platform known as Ibom Focus, sparked widespread outrage on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

The article claimed Kumuyi made the remarks during a press briefing in Lagos, a claim the church has now labelled as entirely false.

In an official statement posted on Pastor Kumuyi’s verified X account on Monday, the ministry condemned the publication, describing it as a fabrication.

The Deeper Christian Life Ministry #dclmhq condemns in the strongest terms the malicious and entirely false news report circulated by a faceless platform which goes by the name of ‘Ibomfocus.’

The story with the headline: ‘America is Trying to Steal our Natural Resources; There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi,’ is a total fabrication and the figment of the imagination of its authors,” the statement read.

The ministry clarified that Pastor Kumuyi had not been in Nigeria recently and had not addressed any press conference in Lagos. It stated:

Pastor Kumuyi did not at any time address a press conference or make the aforementioned statement in Lagos.

He has been away from Nigeria for a considerable length of time, holding programmes in the Oceania region and the Far East.“Besides, Pastor Kumuyi is well known for focusing entirely on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

He does not dabble into politics, as the false story mentioned above seemed to suggest.”
