We Are Investigating David Oyedepo's School request - Britain

David Oyedepo

The British Government has revealed that David Oyedepo’s Winners’ Chapel International’s request to start a school in the country is under investigation.
Kingdom Heritage Model School was meant to be for scholars from the age of four and will be located in Dartford and start in September.


The school was planned to teach students “Biblical truths” in each subject and is currently being considered by the British Department for Education. The Church is also under investigation by the Charity Commission.
One organization called the National Secular Society, is against the creation of the school because the organization stands for the separation of religion and state.

In one letter NSS sent to the Department for Education raised concern about the suitability of Oyedepo’s 
Church to run educational establishments in the country, raising concerns over both educational standards and child welfare.
In 2011, Oyedepo was allegedly caught on tape attacking a young girl in one of his service, He said the girl was possessed by some evil spirits.
In 2012, The Metropolitan Police said that kids believed to be under the possesion of evil spiritsor under the influence of witches are at “clear and immediate risk of significant harm.”

The NSS also asked the DfE to investigate the details concerning the case of a three year old child who passed away when drowned in the toilets of a Kingdom Heritage Model School operated by Winners Chapel in Nigeria in 2012.
NSS Campaign manager Stephen Evans said: “Given this Church’s association with belief in witchcraft and the actions of its leader, we hope the department will give serious consideration to the reliability of the school’s commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.”
When the church was contacted, they refused to respond to the allegations, but another staff member of the church claimed the allegations was just a scam and therefore are false.
