Bishop Oyedepo acquires $30m jet, builds private hanger

Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Winners Chapel International is reported to have increased the number of jets in his hanger. The new aircraft is estimated to be worth a whooping $30m.

This therefore brings the number of his private jets to four.

The private jet, a Gulfstream V was declared to the over 10, 000 worshipers who thronged Canaanland on Sunday March 27th, by the bishop himself.

The bishop said the new jet will be used exclusively for the ministry's African Mission.

In his speech on Sunday, the bishop also announced that a state-of-the art private aircraft hanger that can accommodate five jets at a time is being built for his jets near the international wing of Murtala Mohammed International Airport.

"Yes, Bishop announced the purchase of a jet on Sunday," he said.
