Bishop Oyedepo's N2billion assault case dismissed

Bishop Oyedepo this morning won his N2 billion assault case in court after Justice Ojo of the Ogun State high court dismissed the case on the grounds that the application lacked merit and that the 'slapped lady' remains a ghost victim.

A Lagos based lawyer, Robert Igbinedion, had filed a lawsuit on behalf of a girl who was filmed being slapped by the founder of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) during a deliverance session a few years back. Mr Igbinedion failed to produce the girl, making it impossible to have a case against the Bishop.

mshew SMH! What does one expect from a lawless country. when the nation cant even be bothered with preserving the life of its citizen (as in d nysc case), how would they bother about human right violations? on the other hand though, if the girl was so concerned with addressing the issue, she should have made herself more visible. what's my own to be using panadol to someone else's headache sef *eyes rolling.

The Bishop is a seasoned man who knows how to define "wisdom" and "intelligence."
To win a man like him in a law suit, you have to work overtime. Even at that, he believes in excellence, and so will do the job of defending his name and reputation in an excellent manner.

How is it that we are always quick to jump into conclusions? I have seen the clip and believe u me the girl insulted God and that provoked the man of God. Even Jesus in his days flogged the people buying and selling in the temple of GOD. It's a question of faith, if you don't believe in what Bishop David believes in, why come to his church in the first place? And mind you the girl willingly came for the deliverance the man of God never forced hers and this said girl later came back and apologised to the man of God (guess u didn't hear that side of the story mumu).So watch your dirty mouth and know the real story b4 u start talking rubbish. Pls I don't go to living faith but let the truth be told

Linda, the case was dismissed. Therefore, no one won the 2billion naira lawsuit.

What about Elijah that slaughtered 400 prophets of Baal in the bible? What would you have done in his time? And the bible never recorded that he sinned. Spiritual matters can never be understood with common sense.

Not necessarily so and by the way are you suggesting that because someone is a man of God he can get away with assault or any kind of misdemeanur or even crime?

The case for me was not going to go anywhere anyway. The moment you enter a man's church and accept their doctrines you are inadvertently putting yourself under the control of the pastor. Whether that allows him to slap you is another Rev. King matter.

The lawyer sef is silly. He knows he didn't have a case as long as there was no one to press charges. Kudos to him though.

Anonymous said...

Dear Linda, he didn't win the case, it was dismissed because the plaintiff obviously refused to turn up! Maybe the girl backed out cos she didn't want issues, or maybe she was harassed. He was awarded costs which is normal in such cases. It was not tried on the merits! If it was a criminal case, the story may have been different. All you quoting bible, our God is a merciful and compassionate father, imagine if He went around slapping us? Stop worshipping mere mortals, they'd never be God

This is pure scam, both the lawyer and the girl have collected some cash for this.... No conscience peeps

Its a pity there is no law or should I say enforcement of law in this country. The girl's right were clearly violated the video recording is there. The police did nothing. The human rights commission did nothing. A lawyer now picked up the fight and a stupid corrupt judge, maybe his church member or money changed hands now says there is no victim. Nigeria we hail thee!

Wat kind of fake lawyer is this. You can' t assume to be the victim. If the victim came out, she would have won but certainly not billions.

Very sad! Justice ought to prevail but I believe the whole story has underground details best not discussed in public. God keep record.

Nigeria will become a better place when we realize we serve God and not our pastors. Oyedepo is a human being and no God. Where is it in the bible that Jesus slapped anyone just to deliver them?

A said...

The case may have been thrown out of court but the Lawyer won, the girl who was slapped won, people who can't satnd religious bigotry and shameless abuse of human rights all won, because Mr. Oyedepo will surely not be slapping any young girls with impunity for a long while.

it was obviously not a case; because the girl was not present and twwo it was not the girl that sued him in the first place but someone else did in the first place, you have to have a relation to the case before you sue, you cannot just ssue because you felt bad for the girl. law does not work that way

Oyedepo was wrong but the stupid lawyer was looking for fame. Who has never sinned? Going to law school does not make you a good lawyer. Even a deaf and dumb lawyer would have performed and prepared better than this.

Oyedepo would have settled the girl behind closed doors. Mr lawyer and his crew of baboons should get a life. They are lucky that the girl did not appear and say that the lawyer should leave her pastor alone. Winners Church don win ooo winner pata pata ...

Benuegirl said...

@ Anon 7:56pm Getting slapped by a boss, policeman or woman or anybody else is W.R.O.N.G. It's called assault and is punishable under the law. The Lagos lawyer was right to have brought the matter before a court of law, only if he had been instructed by a client. Church money longer arms than the law now abi.
