Nigerian pastor Helen Ukpabio has reportedly been deported from the United Kingdom by the British Homeland Security after she was accused of ‘spreading ‘witch-hunting’ beliefs in some part of England.
The news of Ukpabio’s deportation was first revealed by UK based human right activist and charity worker, Modupe Debbie Ariyo on social media, Facebook. ‘Helen Ukpabio deported from UK…hurray!!!’, she wrote. She has however deleted the FB post.
There have also been no official statements from the British Homeland Security or Ukpabio herself.
Last week, a number of UK residents wrote to the Home Secretary Theresa May in London to prevent Ukpabio from returning to the United Kingdom following allegations that her preaching might put children under risk.
A fan page ‘Stand Against Helen Ukpabio’ has also been created on social network Facebook. It currently has over 2000 likes.
Ukpabio, is the founder and overseer of Liberty Foundation Gospel Churches World-wide.
