A Kenyan preacher based in the UK has been charged in court for selling what he called a Covid-19 remedy.

Bishop Climate Irungu Wiseman sold a bottle of a mixture of oils at £91 ($125).

He was charged in a London court with fraud and unfair trading offences. He pleaded not guilty.

Mr Wiseman made videos that he circulated online claiming the oils were a cure for Covid-19.

There is no cure for Covid-19, according to the World Health Organization.

Mr Wiseman runs the Bishop Climate Ministries, which is part of the Kingdom Church located in South London.Article share tools
