The cleric was speaking on the theme “Covenant Day of Vengeance” at the church headquarters in Ota, Ogun state.

Oyedepo claimed that within the next seven days, divine punishment will come upon the people responsible for killings and kidnappings.

“I declare judgment on those who caused these tragedies and their supporters in the name of Jesus,” Oyedepo said.

“Unless I am not sent, this will happen in the next seven days.”

The Opta SuperComputer has insisted that Arsenal will still win the Premier League title despite a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.

It was the second consecutive loss suffered by the league leaders, after they lost 2-1 at home to Bournemouth last weekend.

The result meant that Pep Guardiola’s men closed the gap between themselves and the Gunners to three points.

Before kick-off, the Opta installed Arsenal as huge favourites to become champions with a 85.2% probability, while City had 14.8%.

But after the game at the Etihad, rather than City moving into the driving seat, the SuperComputer rates Arsenal’s chances of winning the title at 73.0%.

That means City have a 27% chance of finishing top, although they could overtake Mikel Arteta’s men with a win at Burnley on Wednesday.

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, is still sticking with Arsenal as “slight favourites” to become Premier League champions.

The Gunners lost 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.

Ryan Cherki opened the scoring for the hosts, but Kai Havertz levelled a minute later.

With Arsenal going close to taking the lead, Erling Haaland netted the winner.

The result saw City go three points behind Arsenal and they could go top with a win at Burnley in midweek.

With five games left to play, Rooney believes Mikel Arteta’s men cannot be written off.

He said: “This title race is not over yet, I still feel like there are some more twists and turns to come.

“It is is obviously going to be tight but City have got one more game to try to win, so I still have Arsenal down as slight favourites.”
