Pastor Kumuyi Breaks Silence On Christian Genocide In Nigeria; Drops BOMBSHELL
Founder and General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has reacted to the alleged Christian Genocide in Nigeria. This coming amid threat by the United States (US) President Donald Trump called Nigeria “that now disgraced country”
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for potential military action to completely “wipe out the Islamic terrorists” who are committing “horrible atrocities” against Christians in Nigeria if the government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has reacted a viral report linking Pastor William Kumuyi to anti-American remarks and denial of Christian persecution in Nigeria.
The church clarified that Kumuyi has not been in Nigeria recently and did not hold any press briefing as claimed.
The reports rapidly gained traction on X, sparking widespread outrage and debate.
In an official statement on Monday on Pastor Kumuyi’s verified X account, the ministry described the report as “a total fabrication” and “the figment of the imagination of its authors.”
The church emphasized that Pastor Kumuyi’s ministry remains strictly apolitical, focused exclusively on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Condemning the publication as “malicious,” the ministry warned individuals or groups seeking to misrepresent the pastor or drag him into political discourse.
The statement reads: “The Deeper Christian Life Ministry @dclmhq condemns in the strongest terms the malicious and entirely false news report circulated by a faceless platform which goes by the name of “Ibomfocus”
“The story with the headline: “America is Trying to Steal our Natural Resources; There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi” is a total fabrication and the figment of the imagination of its authors.
“Pastor Kumuyi did not at any time address a press conference or make the aforementioned statement in Lagos. He has been away from Nigeria for a considerable length of time, holding programmes in the Oceania region and the Far East.
Besides, Pastor Kumuyi is well known for focusing entirely on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does not dabble into politics, as the false story mentioned above seemed to suggest.
“The Ministry warns all those bent on mischief by seeking to drag our General Superintendent into politics, or fabricating stories in his name, to desist from such venture. In the future, any such activity may attract action”.
The clarification comes amidst the recent threat by US President Donald Trump of military intervention in Nigeria.

King Charles III ceremonially welcomed Nigerian President Bola Tinubu at Windsor Castle on Wednesday in the first state visit by the leader of Africa’s most populous nation in nearly four decades.
Tinubu has made less formal visits to Britain several times in his tenure, and the two countries remain major partners in trade, aid and defence. London is also home to a massive Nigerian diaspora.
King Charles and Queen Camilla greeted the president and his wife in Windsor, west of London, on a sunny afternoon as artillery fired Salutes
The Nigerian president and his wife earlier chatted with heir-to-the-throne Prince William and his wife Catherine at a hotel in Windsor.
The party then rode in carriages to the historic Windsor Castle, followed by cavalry in red and gold livery.
These include a Yoruba beaded throne presented to Queen Elizabeth II during an official visit in 1965.
They were also to view photographs of a Yoruba woman known as Sarah Forbes Bonetta, who became a protegee of Queen Victoria after being captured as a slave and taken to Britain by a naval captain.
In the evening, Charles and Tinubu were set to give speeches at a lavish state banquet.
‘Renewed chapter’
Nigeria’s presidency said the visit signalled a “renewed chapter” and reflected a shared commitment to “advancing trade and strengthening diplomatic ties”.
Calling the visit “historic”, London announced Nigerian companies, including banks, are expanding operations and creating hundreds of jobs in Britain, strengthening it as a global hub for African business.
Likely on the agenda are issues ranging from major Nigerian port renovations backed by Britain as well as trade, which reached £8.1 billion ($11 billion) in the year to September 2025, an 11.4 per cent year-on-year increase.
On Thursday, Tinubu is expected to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as well as members of the Nigerian community abroad, according to the official schedule.
First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, a Christian pastor, is set to preach at London’s Lambeth Palace — the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury — on Thursday and meet representatives of the Church of England.
The last Nigerian state visit to the UK took place in 1989, although Tinubu was received by Charles in September 2024.
Before the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022, Charles also visited Nigeria four times as Prince of Wales.

I’m so disappointed in this man, before I have so much respect for him but this particular statement he made, I do not have little respect on him again. No wonder since the killing in Benue and Plautu states he never for once condemned it. About 7 local government in Benue state fleed their land over 10 – 15 years now, my father, step mother, cousin brother were killed same day if not for the help of God all my family would have wiped out that day and the killers were singing Allah Akbar Allah Akbar, shouting call your God Jesus to save you why are we running? From today I will never attend that such again I resigned from today as a member of that church because I can’t be part and parcel of this hypocrite.
