Dunsin Oyekan knocks Christians who listen to Asake and other secular songs

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Dunsin Oyekan trended online over a funny comment he made about those who listen to secular and gospel artists.

Oyekan, during a ministration, said such people were living in a confused state as there was no way they could hear from God.

He said some Christians would say:

"Nathaniel Bassey does it for me but you just played brother Asake. And you are bold to share it online."
