In a previous report by Legit.ng, Olukoya called on all Christians and other men of faith across the globe to join in a seven-day prayer and fasting session against the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Olukoya on Monday, April 27, 2020, urged all Christians to join hands and revolt against COVID-19, its systems and its repercussions.
The firebrand preacher in a prayer programme personally signed by him said the session is to silence the rage of the infirmity and to protect Nigerians from the perils of the disease.
He said the prayer and fasting session has been designed to help Nigerian leaders receive inspiration for divine wisdom to take the nation and the rest of the world out of the gloom of Covid-19.
