Ota, Nigeria – The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, criticized the Federal Road Safety Corps Act Amendment Bill, 2026, during a viral sermon on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
Okay News reports that Oyedepo condemned a ₦50,000 ($31) fine for preaching in commercial buses, stating that the government should prioritize addressing national insecurity.
The Senate of Nigeria previously stated that the provision prohibiting bus preaching has been part of Nigerian law since the enactment of the FRSC Establishment Act in 2007.
The legislative body said the amendment prioritizes the safety of commuters and road users and is not intended to undermine religious activities in public spaces.
During the church service in Canaanland, Ogun State, the religious leader said he would pray against those responsible for violent attacks.
