However, Bishop Oyedepo has not made any comment on the incident. ThisDay disclosed that the bishop told the embassy authorities that he has been traveling to the US since the 1980s

Also, recall that President Donald Trump confirmed his intention to impose a travel ban on some countries which Nigeria is part of.
