The founder of the Living Faith Christian Church International, David Oyedepo, failed to appear in court on Wednesday when the suit filed against him for slapping a young lady during a church service last year was mentioned at the Ogun State High Court.

A Lagos-based lawyer, Robert Igbinedion,had filed a suit on behalf of the lady, seeking an award of N2billion as “general and exemplary damages”against the popular pastor.

Oyedepo's lawyer, Agboamwu,who showed up on behalf of the first and second respondents, namely Oyedepo and the church, pleaded for time to file a defence.

The court granted the defence five days to respond to the suit.

Igbinedion had filed for the enforcement of the lady's fundamental rights to freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment, human dignity, fair hearing, and freedom from discrimination.

Justice Ojo, who heard the case at Court 1, High Court, Sango-Ota in Ogun State, however, adjourned hearing till June 1, 2012.

Igbinedion had earlier condemned Oyedepo's action, referring to the altar call for witches to come out as "illegal".

Last year, Oyedepo gave the lady a slap during a church service when she claimed to be “witch for Jesus” after responding to an altar call made by Oyedepo for witches to come out.

Igbinedion described the labelling of witches as "unconstitutional, and a breach of Section 34 of the Constitution of Nigeria, African Charter on Human and People's Right, and United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Right".

The suit is asking the court to compel Oyedepo to issue a self-signed public apology to the young lady, which should be published in two national dailies and aired on one international satellite television station.

The suit also seeks that a similar altar call be made for corrupt government officials, bribe-giving contractors, drug dealers and other category of sinners who are members of the Oyedepo's church.

Let justice be served... May HE be slapped by the LONG ARMS of the LAW... (although sha na Naija, im fit pay, talk say na Jesus, up WINNERS)

i think 5 days is long enough. let's wait and see.

Oyedepo is a lover of DARKNESS.. his followers/worshipers can't see except HE shows them HIS light...

I wonder o

He humiliated that young woman before a mammoth crowd; who does he think he is ? I think when people gets too rich and influencial they starts thinking themselves a god? I want him prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

Will indeed like to follow up this story...i want to hear why he slapped the girl instead of the evil spirit..and who gave him the right to do so...tomorow they will shoot someone saying they shot evil spirit.

You're a real brainwashed mofo.

This is not an attack on Oyedepo. Oyedepo assaulted a young girl and was unrepentant about it. Oyedepo needs to answer to justice

Oyedepo and the rest of the so called " men of God" are a bunch of
Thieving and scamming so and so. If they
Were not pastors they d all be full fledged fraudsters.

I hope d judge will be fair on dis 1, labelling d poor innocent girl å witch i̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ disheartenin, I hpe God will open d eyes O̶̷̩̥̊͡F thousands O̶̷̩̥̊͡F doomed pple goin Τ̅☺ dis multi billion naira organisatn calld church.

i realy dont kn how narrow minded some pple cn be..why ws Jesus nt prosecuted for chasing pple selling stuff out of d church..even scattering their goods..teling them my fathers house is d house of prayer n nt d den of thieves. Mayb be u shuld tel me where d bible commanded one2 b a witch for christ..instead d bible says 'suffer not a witch to live". I hav2 sound a note of warning 2d ignorant minds tokin rubbish against d man of God. U better b warned or else Gods judgement wil come upon u.

One thing I know for sure is that there is no witch in heaven so Bishop Oyedepo was right in doing what he did. Its called holy anger. I believe many of you would have typed same poo if you were in apostle Paul era and he did what he did in acts 13:6-11

Ghen ghen!E don happen!Barr.Robert,please see this case through,pursue it to the highest levels.Even as far as the African Court on Human & Peoples' Rights if you have to.May the Force be with you.Enough of these shenanigans

Think what u say and don't say what u think, for ur thoughts are urs but ur words are no more urs. Just a piece of advice.

Shut up joor..MOG or business men? you must be under the influence..

The other time, a lady took a small girl to an uncompleted building and plucked out her tongue in the name of chasing out demon in her. Tell me what we haven't seen in the name of fighting evil spirit.
