‘How Oyedepo was almost killed by assassins’
The daughter of Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel, Love Ogah, has narrated a failed assassination attempt on her father.
Speaking during a sermon posted on her Instagram page on Tuesday, she told the congregation that the incident happened when she was a child.
According to her, the Living Faith General Overseer was standing in front of the hired assassins, but they could not see him.
Despite ransacking the residence for hours, the attackers reportedly failed to locate him after demanding his presence.
Recalling the incident, Mrs Ogah said the family watched in disbelief as the drama unfolded.
She said: “I remember when we were growing up—I believe I was in secondary school then—one particular night, we were visited in our house by hired killers. They came to our house specifically, stating from the time they entered the gate, ‘We’re here to execute him.’ By ‘him’, they meant my father (Bishop David Oyedepo). Our house was like a war zone. They were like, ‘Where is he?’
“The most interesting thing I’ll never forget in my life, which has stuck with me since I was a child, was that he (Oyedepo) was looking at them the entire time, but they couldn’t see him. They ransacked our house for hours. There was a time we hid behind the door, and at a particular point, they shut the door. The door hit my lip—my entire top gum came off, and my gum was dangling. They came ready to execute.
“After they ransacked the whole house for hours, my aunt came into the house crying. She said, ‘Oh my God, I don’t know what would have happened. Oh my God, where is he?’ And my father came out of his room, and we all looked like it was a film trick. He said, ‘I was staring at them the entire time.’ They entered his room and ransacked everywhere—he was looking, but they couldn’t find him. All of us were looking like it was a film trick.”
