A pastor of the Bishop David Oyedepo-led Winners Chapel has been arrested over illegal possession of a pistol by the Benue State Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Katsina-Ala local government area of the state.
Olufamous.com gathered from a credible source that the pastor, Collins Obuh, was nabbed with the gun on Tuesday at the church premises when he allegedly attempted to kill Philip Toryila, an accountant of the church.It was learnt that the duo had a serious disagreement that evening following the refusal of the accountant to release fund to Obuh to do a project for which he earlier requested for. Sources disclosed that the failure on the part of Toryila to release the said money angered the pastor who immediately ordered the accountant to give him the money or face his wrath.
The accountant, however, according to a source, remained adamant since the church council did not approve for any such project to his knowledge. The argument gradually degenerated to the point that they began to shout at each other until a fight broke out between them.
Head of SARS in the area, Inspector Godwin Utenge, who confirmed the incident, said the police came to the rescue of the accountant following a distress call by one of the church official.
Benue Police Public Relations Officer DSP Daniel Ezeala confirmed the incident, saying “the arrested pastor is now in custody of the state police command”.

ReplyDeleteNothing wrong wit Pentecostal churches but the practitioners sometime are the problem
ReplyDeleteWhat you have is what you give, "Bishop" Oyedepo is a very arrogant man who can't stand "disobedience" from anyone "lower" than him, he has in him the spirit of pride and has imparted this in his pastors. I'm not surprised, afterall we all saw Oyedepo slap a poor girl because she refused to say what he wanted her to say, why won't one of his pastors, those he has annointed with the spirit of pride, attempt to shoot a fellow "winner" for "disobedience? Bunch of loosers!

ReplyDeleteWho made u all judge over Oyedepo. As u continuing running ur tongues remember the leprousy of Miriam in the bible.
ReplyDeleteWhere the children of God are gathered, even d devil was present.
ReplyDeleteThou shld not judge. So that u will not be judged.
ReplyDeleteThe issue here is about the feeling of being disrespected. Money is not the issue here, try and read between the lines. Anyway, the pastor went too far, he is so unwise to have done that. If na for white garment church dis kin tin happen, we for no hear word
ReplyDeleteI AM NOT A MEMBER OF LIVING FAITH NOR A FAN OF THE CHURCH, BUT I WILL SAY WE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE SAY ABOUT ANOINTED MEN OF GOD. ONLY GOD CAN AND WILL JUDGE ALL WRONG DOINGS. STOP BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE CHURCH OF GOD BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAVE GRIEVOUS PUNISHMENT FROM GOD.....FELLOW BE WARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGuys, be careful of your comments. This is not Oyedepo as a person nor pentecostal. It is a person that is involved here. You may have to leave the judgement to God who ''called'' the pastor so that you are not judged. Pastors ask for more grace and take caution. The lord will help you in Jesus' name.
