Oyedepo rejects hijab in mission schools, warns against church harassment  

Founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has rejected calls by some Muslim groups for female students in Christian mission schools to be allowed to wear the hijab.

Speaking during a church service, Oyedepo likened the demand to “a tenant decreeing for the landlord” and insisted that mission schools should uphold their founding standards.

He urged those making such requests to establish their own schools where the hijab could be freely worn.

“This is harassment against the church. Leave the schools for the owners.

“Find your schools and set your rules,” he said, warning that continued pressure could attract “the consuming fire of God.”

The cleric also condemned ritual killings, kidnapping, and the destruction of farmlands, praying for divine judgment on those behind such crimes.

He called on Christians to remain steadfast in prayer and defend their faith.
