2nd VIDEO: Wealthy Nigerian Pastor Who Slapped Teenage Girl Before Thousands At Church Service Still Boasts Of The Beating
Nigeria’s wealthiest pastor, David Oyedepo, returned to the scene of the crime last year when, speaking to a full church assembly, he recalled walloping a young girl in the face, knocking her backwards, as she knelt before thousands of church members, where people kneel to be saved.
The ringing slap could be heard easily on the video of that service but no copy was available until a source just provided it to SaharaReporters.
The incident took place in 2009 and it was recalled by Pastor Oyedepo in 2010 at his Winners Chapel, in Otta, Ogun state, Southwest Nigeria. “I slapped a witch here last year,” Oyedepo declared, stressing each word, on the video. “She came back in February to apologize. She begged me to please forgive her.” He added the warning, “Starting today, the things harassing you, you will start harassing them.”
FIRST ASSAULT VIDEO IN 2009
See: A new petition calling on the Nigerian government to prosecute Pastor David Oyedepo
Thanks to YouTube and Oyedepo’s tradition of videotaping his sermons, the slap and the recall of the slap are now being seen by thousands.
The girl on her knees appeared to be a suffering teenager in a simple dress whose soft voice cracked as she answered the pastor’s insistent questions. She had been first on a line of teenagers apparently ushered in to confess their sins. Pastor lost his composure when the teen from Imo state, pressured to say she was a witch, claimed instead to be a "witch for Jesus". The words had barely left her mouth when she was hit hard by the pastor’s open hand.
A now furious Oyedepo demanded confessions from the other teenagers as church members roared their approval. While the cruel show was going on, more victims were brought forth by church ushers. It could be surmised that the group of teenagers on bended knees had been recruited for this punishment without full disclosure.
Oyedepo’s actions, bordering on criminal assault, have prompted a variety of citizen responses and action on social media platforms. A petition signing campaign has been launched, calling for the prosecution of the flamboyant pastor. Another Nigerian website, Nigerianvillagesquare.com named Pastor Oyedepo to its naming and shaming part- “NVS Hall Of Shame”- a platform for mobilizing scorn against unscrupulous Nigerian public officials and powerful private individuals.
SaharaReporters posted the Youtube video, which has now gone viral and become a source of international anger against the man known as “Papa” by members of his large church.
Oyedepo is the general overseer of the Nigerian-based Winners Chapel which is also known as “Living Faith Church”. A chapter In the U.S. is based in Hempstead, Long Island, according to their website. Efforts to speak with a representative were unsuccessful at press time.
Another group last night stated that a strong letter of complaint is already being worked on to request the US State Department to revoke Pastor Oyedepo’s visa to the US. A group in the UK also promised to find a creative way to get the UK government to prosecute Mr. Oyedepo for child abuse and battery if he sets foot on UK soil.
Nigerian flamboyant pastors are some of the richest on the African continent; Pastor Oyedepo is considered the richest Pastor in Nigeria according to a Forbes magazine article. He owns four jets, a super expensive network of schools and various investments across the African continent.
He is highly connected and politically powerful. In May 2011 when Nigerians were confronted with the antics of the clique that hid behind the terminal illness of Nigeria’s president, Umaru Yar’adua, Pastor Oyedepo was part of a delegation corralled to visit a dying Yar’adua to provide the Nigerian people the impression that Yar'adua was “alive and recovering" although Mr. Oyedepo and his companions saw a bleary Yar’adua, he never said a word in public to reveal what he saw. Yar'adua died a few days later.
I am not insulting the pastor
I am not insulting the pastor but didn't God give him the job to preach the gospel after all in the bible,God said 'vengeance is mine alone'.and why was he questioning them, to tell their sins after all his job is to bring souls to Christ and not to determine if they are worth to be brought to Christ by their sins

He should stop decieving his people for God sake.

Based on the so called
Based on the so called powerful men of God in Nigeria,who are only duping poverty sticken Nigerians and the enslaved.Nigeria should not have a single problem.With churches almost everywhere,corruption is a trade,419,scammers, deadly roads,mortuary hospitals,no electricity .These should be a big concern for a true man of God,like Prophet Elija,who commanded fire.Oyedepo does not need to need slap the the innocent lass,let him call on his god to do the job.
Nigerians beleive in all kinds of superstitions .Wake up folks from your slumber, a man of God with 4 jets,in a country with 70% living below $2/day,that's a red flag.
Re:have you read your bible
Moses was living in caves and tents with his people,not flying 4 jets.Jesus rode a donkey, not horse.Mugus,read your bible and use your brain.

He not God or anything of god.
I am a Nigerian in Austria, I have no time commenting on issue like this, because he can only slap millions of poor children in Nigeria and some other poor African countries nothing will happen. I am very happy this man is travelling everywhere in the world, maybe one day he think of holding a crusade here in Austria let see how he will stand in front of 2.5m tall Austrian Commandoes and Cobras doing this slaping of a thing to even mad man, two things will happen to this man. first, these Security guys in less than a second take him and smash his head on the ground and left there to kiss and slap the ground for some time before taking away to serve under African Drug dealer who are already waiting to tear his face with slaps in the prison.I like truthful men not men of God.
Keep wasting your time here.
Keep wasting your time here. If u are a witch, come out now and receive your own slap
Please be warned that this is
Please be warned that this is a gimmick of the devil what ever you dont understand dont comment on otherwise when the wrath of the I AM the Lord of Hosts is his name is visiting the camp of those who gang up against his anionted with his wrath you shall be visited.He said touch not my anionted and do my prophet no harm.This publication is being spread by the devil and his agents do not be a victim of what you know nothing of.Bishop Oyedepo is my father and an anionted prophet of God.
An average Nigerian knows witches are not our friends but agents of destruction why suddenly are we celebrating them?
Think deep if you are a christian there is more to this than meet the eyes.Please be careful.
lies
obviously you are not a child of the prophet but an hypocrite other wise you will knw the true story may God have mercy on you
lies
Dont call him your father cos he is not .If he was you will know the truth about this demonic story being spread
Anger
i know u will not be happy if someone slap u or ur daughter in public because u did not say u are witch ,it is like u go to doctor for healing and doctor begin to humiliate u how will u feel .Papa is our father but i think he did it out of hanger he cant control himself because of what she said that is child abuse no one is cursing the pastor we are talking about the slap and no one is above the law He is still our father mistake is mistake,that is my own thinking but let the God judge,pray for our enemy and not to curs our enemy.
Anger
Pastor Oyedepo is our father we love him and we will continue to love him ,one thing i want us to understand is that we are all human no one is above mistake,dont be thinking we all gang up,to me i dont think that slap is right i am not judging but left for God but that is what i think,if u look that video very well u can see he did it out of anger Papa cant control himself because she said she is witch for Jesus.watch the video again, the bible also teaches us to pray for our enemy that is what make us difference from MUSLIM,why should we be praying for death for ourself now maybe in the future we will be sending bomb.We all need to repent
And if they see the end of this year
If the sponsors of this article, plus those who aggree your bishop was wrong, see the end of this year, will that open your eyes to see that your bishop and yourself have really got yourselves into a twist?
Judge not
Nigerians are special being. Many of you are condemning other people for their views about your pastor. What right do you ve to judge and even sentence others to death while it is a seen for them to comment about your Papa. This country will one day be free of you hypocrites.

NO HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE CALLED WITCH
Person can be used by demons to do his work that is true. But what we should be doing as men of God is to cast out this from the demon possesed person.Not to slap or kill the person.
Hiding your head in the sand ...
For goodness sake, grow up. Stop using that verse in the bible to allow these money making individuals , that you call pastors, from getting away with things that should never be allowed in a society that upholds good moral values. Besides, ask yourself this ... If Jesus were alive today, will he behave like a lot of these crooks are behaving?
