Raid On Canaanland: Oyedepo Gives Robbers 24 Hours To Surrender

02.02.2008

THE presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Ministries, aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, on Friday reacted to the robbery attack on the banks situated with the premises of the Canaanland.

Oyedepo gave the robbers 24 hours to retrace their steps and surrender to the police.

Oyedepo admonished the robbers, who threw the whole church community and the entire ancient Ota community into pandemonium with the robbery operation, that failure to hand themselves over to the police would mean their death.

In the words of Oyedepo, "I give them 24 hours, unless this place does not belong to God."

The Bishop, who was undaunted by the attack, made similar pronouncement at the last Shiloh when he cursed thieves at the ground.

He said whosoever stole even a kobo would run mad. Those involved instantly dropped the stolen items, while others that failed to do so ran mad 24 hours after the warning.

Meanwhile, the situation at the Canaanland and the entire community has returned to normal as people were seen on Friday going about their normal businesses, while some were discussing the incident in low tones.
