Bishop Oyedepo’s daughter narrates how Winner’s general overseer escaped assassination

The daughter of Bishop David Oyedepo, Love Ogah has recounted an account of a failed assassination attempt on her father, the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, by hired killers.

While speaking during a church gathering in a viral video, Love who urged the congregation to cultivate a personal relationship with God, narrated how the assailants, broke into their house with the intent to kill Bishop Oyedepo, but could not find him despite searching the entire property.

“I remember when we were growing up. I think I was in secondary school then. One particular night, we were visited in our house by hired killers. They came to our house and specifically stated from the gate that, ‘We are here to execute him.’ By him, they meant my father. Our house was like a war zone,” she recounted.

She further described how the attackers rampaged through their home, “The most interesting thing that stuck with me since I was a child is that he 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 they shut the door. The door hit my lips, and my top gum came off and was dangling.”

According to her, after hours of confusion and fear, something miraculous happened.

“My aunt came into the house and was crying, ‘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. We all thought it was a movie. He said, ‘I was staring at them the entire time.’ They entered his room, ransacked everywhere, and he was looking, but they couldn’t find him. That image has never left my brain.”

She closed her message with a call for spiritual preparedness:

“When you are in the centre of God’s will for your life, challenges will come and test what you stand for. You can’t fake this thing forever. That’s why I’m begging, for your own destiny, know God for yourself, because the enemies that want to execute you are plenty. But when you are in God, you are coming from a place of victory. They can’t touch you.”
