Ordinarily, the house of God is supposed to be a place where responsible and gentle people are bred, but alas! the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, owned by Bishop David Oyedepo, is not only gradually painting itself to be a lawless house, but a house of rascals.
Barely 48 hours after some tax officials of the Ogun State government were allegedly assaulted by staff of Heritage Nursery School, Ota, Ogun, owned by Winners Chapel, some members of staff of the church again took laws into their hands and unleashed terror on some state government officials.
The Oyedepo’s ‘boys’ brutally beat up some staff of the Ministry Of Urban and Physical Planning as well as journalists with the Ogun State-owned television station, OGTV, Abeokuta on Saturday.
The officials of the Ogun State Ministry Of Urban and Physical Planning, led by the General Manager of Ogun State Urban and Physical Planning Board, Stephen Adewolu, had gone to the church in Ota to serve building inspection notices, which the press crew accompanied them to cover.
Little did they know that trouble was in a corner awaiting for them at the supposed house of God as the church staff pounced on them in the presence of the Head Pastor of the church, Timothy Oyedepo, who allegedly supported the brutal acts of his ‘sheep’. The journalists were beaten while their camera was seized and the recording in it wiped off by the church ‘rascals’.
Information scooped by us revealed that officials of the Ministry of Urban and Physical Planning had made a notice of their visit to the church at the Onipanu Police Station in Ota.
The church reportedly kicked against the government’s move to regulate the building of structures in its premises meant for commercial purposes.
Meanwhile, the injured journalists have been discharged from the hospital after receiving treatments at the General Hospital, Ota. The matter has however been reported to the police.
