The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor E. A Adeboye has been tongue-lashed by Nigerians for saying children of God are exempted from contracting the deadly Coronavirus disease.
Coronavirus which originated in Wuhan China in December 2019 has spread to over 30 countries with a rising death toll of over 5,000 people.
Last week, World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus a pandemic. Countries like America and those under the EU have shut their borders to protect their citizens.
However, Pastor Adeboye in a video shared online said;
“I want to assure you that there is no virus that can come near you at all because it is written that those that dwell in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I believe that this is a time for God to show you clearly that there is a difference between those who serve him wholeheartedly and those who do not”.

Nigerians are angry that Adeboye implied that the people who have tested positive or died from the virus are not children of God.
