Senior pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) in London Matthew Ashimolowo on Sunday received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The cleric also called on the public to accept the vaccine.

“I have taken the Vaccination today. Very simple and quick. I encourage all BAME to take the vaccination. Save lives. Stay Safe. Protect yourselves. We need to do this,” he tweeted.

Ashimolowo also shared a video on Instagram with the caption: “We need to do this to save lives. Vaccination saves lives! Take the vaccination not just for yourself but others and all those around you.

“Let’s do it so we can protect ourselves. Vaccination is very necessary, protect yourself, your children and grandchildren. Please get it one as soon as possible.”

Ashimolowo had last year criticised pastors who alleged links among the 5G networks, COVID-19 and the Antichrist.

Founder of Loveworld Ministries International, better known as Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome, was in the frontline of pastors pushing the conspiracy theories.
