Covenant University students have called out the school and Pastor Oyedepo for allegedly leaving them outside under the rain to carry out pregnancy and drug test instead of COVID-19 test as required.
They alleged that a member of staff said Covid-19 test is not necessary because “Papa is praying” for them.
One student took to micro blogging platform, Twitter and wrote:
“COVENANT UNIVERSITY IS NOT DOING COVID-19 TEST FOR STUDENTS! THEY LIED TO OUR PARENTS. THEY ARE ONLY DOING PREGNANCY AND DRUG TEST! I RESUMED TODAY AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY URINE AND BLOOD SAMPLE. @OGSGOfficial PLEASE HELP!
I AM SCARED TO MY WITS! RETWEET WHEN YOU SEE THIS
“One of the staff even said that if any of us is infected, that we should not worry that papa is praying. That we should forget COVID-19.”
“And to top it all, in the hostels, we are FOUR in a room! FOUR! No difference from every other semester before COVID-19”
