N2 Billion Lawsuit Against David Oyedepo For Hearing May 2nd
Bishop Oyedepo
May 1st, 2012 – N2 Billion Lawsuit Against David Oyedepo For Hearing May 2nd
The N2 Billion lawsuit against the Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo over a witch slapping allegation is set for hearing tomorrow May 2nd, 2012. naijagists.com
The hearing is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the Ogun State High Court.
Robert Igbinedion, the lawyer who filed the suit on behalf of the young lady, two weeks ago, is seeking the court to award N2 billion as ‘general and exemplary damages’ against the flamboyant pastor.
Mr. Igbinedion says he intends to launch a barrage of petitions against the bishop “to stop him until investigations are over so he will not escape.”
“To let him know we are serious, I’m going to send a petition to the Ogun State Commissioner of Police on Monday (today) to investigate the assault,” Mr. Igbinedion told Premium Times over the phone, on Saturday.
“I’m also going to send copies of the petition to the American Embassy, the UK, and the EU to stop him from coming into their countries until the police clear him,” he added.
This lawyer is nearing joblessness (O ma se o)

OYEDEPO THE MAN OF GOD HAZ TRULY MADE A MISTAKE BY HUMAN CALCULATION; BUT BY DIVINE CALCULATION, NO ONE CAN TEL. IF IT WAS A TRAP/TEMPTATION BY SATAN, HE MUST HAVE FAILD D TEST, AND NIDS PRAYER BECOS SATAN IS GETIN MANY PEOPLE ANGRY UNNECESARILY ABOUT THIS. PEOPLE LIKE ROBERT TILTON AND OTHERS WERE BROUGHT TO BOOK ON CHURCH ISSUES BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, REDUCING THEM TO D BAREST MINIMUM. ALL LIVING FAITHERS SHOULD PRAY FOR THE BISHOP BECOS SATAN IS PLANING TO PUT HIM TO SHAME VIA THIS EVENT. RECENTLY HE WAS HIGHLY CRITICIZED FOR FLOATING DOMINION AIRLINE, NOW IT IS A SUIT. THE GATES OF HELL MAY CONTEND WITH YOU BISHOP OYEDEPO, BUT IT SHALL NOT PREVAIL. LASTLY, I THINK YOU NID TO WORK ON YOUR EMOTION BISHOP (EMOTIONAL MASTERY). AT TIMES YOU LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR TEMPER. MAY THE LORD GRANT US THE GRACE TO LIVE A SPIRIT LED LIFE, MANIFESTING ALL OF THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT(PATIENCE, LONGSUFERING, LOVE, PEACE ETC). SHALOM!

Initially, I didn’t want to comment on this because God is in control and my father in the Lord is winning and shall forever win. Glory!!!
But let me just chip in the following examples; In the later ’90s when the Bauchi branch of the Living Faith Church was to be built, the indigenous people (mostly muslims) came out enmass to stall it, the Bishop on laying the foundation of the Church building was quoted to have said “This building (Church) shall be built and will stand, whosoever supports it shall stand alongside it, but whoever wants to pull it down will go down with it”. The testimony today is that of all religious crises in that state, none has ever gone close to the church premises.
This lawyer should also go and ask the residents of Barnawa area of Kaduna state what happened penultimate the building of the Faith Gardens there?
This lawyer is already incuring God’s anger and be blamed should there be a recurrence of demonic oppressions on the girl he is purpotedly standing for. Is it with the girl’s consent if I may ask?

With the greatest sense of respect to the commentators on this issue, I think is it only Habakuk who has analyzed the issue with some measure of objectivity. What Bishop Oyedepo did to that girl is called assault in law and irrespective of the religious atmosphere in which it was done, he may incur civil and maybe criminal liability if found liable/ guilty. Gentlemen, please be objective Reverend King is currently languishing in Kirikiri maximum security prison under a death…I repeat…DEATH sentence for sporadic acts of violence such as this that ultimately resulted in the death of a church member.
The fact that a lawyer has chosen to take him up on this issue is not indicative of hunger or joblessness. If the lawyer’s surname is anything to go by, hunger may be the least of his problems. By the way, this is the same lawyer who defended the members of Reverend King’s church so what are you saying? This calls for prayers for the man of God and not condemnation for the lawyer and other activist elements of our society. The late Gani Fawehinmi built a reputation for himself fighting oppression and injustice wherever he sensed it and society is the better for it today. I believe religion and men of God should not be above the law otherwise society will be worse off for it.

The lawyer thinks he,s got the opportunity of becoming richer.He,s only gambling with his life.He should be advised to stay clear from the anointed man of God so that the heavenly authority will not deal with him.It,s a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

One thing I believe is that you can never fight with the holy spirit and win,it doesn’t exist anywhere. One thing I will say is it is well

The man is unfortunately treading in a realm he doesn’t understand. God’s ways are not our ways, so all the talk about legality is misplaced here. I watched the incident. Bishop Oyedepo was ministering under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and strange things happen under that atmosphere. The Lord is the only one to judge in this, hence he is technically above the law. Moses was judged by God when he went out of line, but all the people who tried it were sweverely punished, even though their criticism ws justifiable. That’s the way God operates, so everyone should just live with it. And I agree that the man of God needs prayers, for he too needs divine help. Mr lawyer, you are treading on a dangerous path. God will do ANYTHING to protect the name of Jesus, regardless of our perceived faults. Make sure that whatever you are doing is being done in good conscience! Before slapping this suit, was there any attempt to speak one-on-one with the Bishop? Or is this meant to extort money or tarnish his image?
