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
