HARDDON: so sad to hear...... another ploy to tarnish the image of my grandpa. i do hope and pray the God Lord brings the child back hail and hearty./////// and as for you Nlandas who lack self control and restrain, may God have mercy on you cos no one else can!

e.dynasty:
I think the teachers not Oyedepo will be called for questioning. What baffles me in the whole story was "the said teachers all left for 'service' before properly handing the kids of whom they were giving custody". Oyedepo has nothing here, they do.

musKeeto:
You are indeed a drunk... The church knows it holds public events and so is responsible for whatevere crowd control or mugu control units they have.. you can't absolve them of blame in this case.

And stop being such an asshole.. like say if na ur pikin, u for dey speak all dis grammar... Nonsense...

jkeva:

i wonder o, pple jst talk as if they dont know wat dey r sayin, we r talking of a whole life here, humanbeing like us.

Barywhyte:

@Poster are u saying this incidence happened a year ago? If so why is this story coming up now? Are the parents sleeping in the last one year? Playing with the life of a humanbeing like them?


Unbelievable!

ZUBY77: Oyedepo should consult his fellow Yoruba criminals/scammers to help him pray and recover the child. Since TBJoshua cansee tomorrow, what is so hard in seeing yesterday when the child got missing?

Mmuo Okija:

Yup!!

You are either not a graduate or a re'tard... I shall offer sacrifices on your behalf.. MAy the gods have mercy on you!!

stagger:

A whole year has passed. Is the blame game going to bring the child back? What constructive suggestion has been made since? I have worked with the police before and I can tell you that if the parents had acted within 24 hours of going to the authorities, it would have made a difference.

Policemen also attend Winners Chapel and there is a law enforcement unit there.

Sometimes these news reports never give the full details and I am sure if we had programs like America's Most Wanted, the media would have found a constructive outlet to aid in missing persons cases.

you need God mercy also & u also need a deliverance & u better watch ur mouth cos u talk 2 much.OKIJA

Revolva: ah dem don take am do blood money ,oyedepo keep gettin richer and members broke
But do you know being broke is the root of all evils

rhymz: It is important that we get the full story, I read the story the first time and felt there was something missing, so I went to google to get the full story and I understood why it was alleged that Oyedepo and his Church were trying to cover up the case, here is the remaining part of the story:

Thwarting police investigation The case was later reported by the church’s Chief Security Officer, Supol Cosmas, at the Police Area Command in Onipanu, Sango-Ota in Ogun State, where one Ijeoma Lawal was assigned as the Investigating Police Officer (IPO). A source at the police station said that Samuel was questioned but the four teachers directly connected to Praise’s disappearance were prevented from making statements. The source also claimed that a call had come from a senior pastor of the church asking the police not to interrogate the teachers because they had volunteered for the job and should not be put through any hassles. “The caller told the police that the church will handle the matter themselves and the four teachers were promptly released,” said the source. After there appeared to be no headway in the efforts to find Praise, Samuel said he became disturbed and suggested that the case be made public. With photographs of his missing daughter and his wife in tow, Samuel got an interview at the Africa Independent Television (AIT) in Alagbado, Lagos. But when Samuel’s plea to the public for information aired on the station, the broadcaster gave the impression that Praise had disappeared at the couple’s Satellite Town residence, and not the Winners Chapel. “I called the AIT man named Desmond to complain and he told me that was the instruction he received from the church. Even the IPO called me to say that she watched the broadcast and was shocked at what was reported,” he said. Samuel added that his complaints about the AIT broadcast to the church were also not taken seriously. “Is it a sin for me to go to a church of God with my family? This is a year that my child disappeared under the church’s custody. How can I go to AIT only to have a different thing shown? How can the church interfere with police investigation?” He asked. Samuel claimed that, in the same week his child got missing, he had suggested that the four affected voluntary teachers be invited for questioning with Lawal in attendance. But none of the voluntary teachers nor the Investigating officer showed up for the meeting as the Elengs and a neighbour, one Blessing, who had accompanied the couple, waited in vain. Also, last August when Samuel had gone to visit Lawal, he said he was welcomed with congratulatory messages from police officers at the police station, who claimed to have received a call from the church informing them that Praise had been found and that the case be withdrawn. In the same month, thoroughly dissatisfied with the way his church was handling the matter, coupled with the meddling, Samuel took matters in his own hands. One Sunday, Samuel said he went to the Church’s Children Department and bared his anger by declaring that no kid should go in unless his daughter was found. Samuel said his attitude was promptly reported to Oyedepo, who warned him never to go near the Children’s department again. Before then, according to Samuel, Oyedepo was in constant communication with him, but since the classroom incident, “he stopped taking my calls and no more talk about my missing daughter.” Calls for more prayer Samuel said he did not meet Oyedepo again until recently when they met on April 12, 2012, almost a year since his child was missing. “I told him (Oyedepo) that my child was still missing and he said ‘be prayerful, the Lord will strengthen you and your child will be found’,” Samuel said. A source at the church however claimed that a handful of church members, including Cosmas, who also doubles as Aide-de-camp to Oyedepo, are making efforts to find Praise. The source also said that series of meetings were recently held by the church, where the four teachers were invited. When called to confirm the report, Lawal declined to comment on the issue, saying, “please, don’t involve me in the matter.” Cosmas also denied any knowledge of the incident, appearing to be more interested in how Daily Times got his number. However, Desmond confirmed that Praise’s disappearance was reported and broadcasted by the television station a year ago. The Elengs are now at a crossroad, torn between reverence for their church pastor whom they fondly call ‘Daddy’, and their filial love for their child whom Samuel referred to as “our first fruit”. Also, the couple’s pain has recently been heightened by Glory’s constant queries about her missing sister.

ozoebuka1: Wow... wonders shall never end... by the fact that they hid it from d general public, something is wrong somewhere... woman, abeg report da case to da police if u wanna know what happened to ur child ,praise,

Mmuo Okija:


I could think of over 50 ways to turn this into a Tribal issue... But a little girls life is at stake here so... Heres the other me;

First of all, I find it very disturbing that many parents tend to have absolutely zero regards for the security and well-being of their kids. This isnt peculiar to winners chapel at all, so dont worry, I havent started bashing Oyedepo. If many of you here would be honest, look at the childrens department in your churches and imagine how easy it would be for a child predator to waalk in and take away a child. The security around them are lax, the guardians in charge are lacadesical and the entire set-up is a waste.

Thats why it is advisable to parents to keep their kids with them in the "ADULT" section of the church. It is not as if in the adult section, profanity or curse words are used.. Keeping your kids with you during the service gives the parents a better advantage to have an idea where their child is and what their child is doing.. Also, the parennts get to explain the preaching to their kids. In the so-called childrens department in most churches, the kids barely learn anything.

Now!! OYEDEPO... No surprises.. He didnt sense any evil.. Yet the girl is missing. And it didnt occur to the witch-slapping Preacher to call the police and put out an APBwith the girls picture immediately the incident was reported... NO!! He was more interested in proecting the image of his church and buying jets..

The parents should sue him and Winners to court for criminal negligence.. and damages to the tune of 50 billion Naira.

XFive: Please let us be cautious on what we say.

You are a holy foo'l!!

Can you prove it didnt!!

Ewu!

Timileyin: Everyone is entitled to there own opinion about religion, preaches or any topic, but hating or blastfaming a religion or a man of God, is just wrong and it leads to destruction. let people be and believe what they want. educate yourself before commenting about people or posting in general.

if you have an opinion about a man of God, its better you keep it to your self, not broadcasting and celebrating it on frontpage. most of you guys are just jealous and envious about the level God as placed this men. Their members are not complaining and they are not fools nor blind.. huh [color=#990000][b][/b]
