Senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre Paul Enenche has led his church in prayers against compulsory COVID-19 vaccination.
Enenche appeared in a video on Friday leading his congregation in prayer at the church’s headquarters in Abuja.
“We terminate the demonic Covid agenda. We terminate the demonic false vaccination agenda all around the earth,” he said.
“In case you don’t know, compulsory vaccination is from the pit of hell. Nobody is ever permitted to be given an injection by force for any reason. It is from the pit of hell. That is what you are praying about.”
According to Enenche, people should have the right to decide whether they want to seek medical help or not even when they are sick.
“Anybody who is sick has the right to be treated and anybody by choice can receive any medication, any time. Even God Almighty gave man a choice in the Garden of Eden, only the devil leaves people with no choice,” he said.
Enenche’s comments come amid plans by the Federal Government to ban federal workers who fail to show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination from December 1, 2021.
Edo State Government had also attempted to introduce compulsory COVID-19 vaccination in the state but was met with outcry.
Despite Enenche’s position, many countries do not accept visitors except they are vaccinated.
Enenche is not alone in his scepticism about the vaccine. Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome among others also do not endorse the vaccine.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye recently said members of his church were free to take the vaccine, adding that he would take the vaccine 10 times if it is required of him to enter any country for evangelical work.
