Nigerians on social media are currently dragging Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide after he dismissed some workers who stole from the Church's treasury.
The dismissal of the erring workers was disclosed by Oyedepo at an empowerment summit organized for the Church's ordained workers which held on Saturday.
He said, “We had no choice but to dismiss them. You can imagine top church officials engaging in doubling figures and other dubious practices. After we dismissed them, we discovered more fraud.”
“Those who should discover the fraud were the ones involved in it. One of them refused to confess until the last minute. Can you imagine accountants perpetrating fraud in the house of God?
“Don’t employ them, don’t sympathise. Whoever sympathises with the wicked is wicked himself. Don’t sympathise with any perpetrator of fraud, otherwise, you are a partaker of the evil act.”
However, Nigerians have expressed how they feel about the news which is currently trending on Twitter as at press time.
MyNigeria brings you some of the tweets criticizing Oyedepo over the dismissal of the workers.

Oyedepo has once again exhibited his excessive love for MONEY.
What then is the difference between him and unbeliever ? https://t.co/Dx8SGeWykI
But How Come The God Of Oyedepo That Gives Him All The Visions And Prophecies That He Always Shouts Didn't Show Him When The Officials Were Looting His Church Treasury?

Is This Not A Confirmation That This Oyedepo Man Is Just A Business Man?
God Cannot Allow Such To His Own! pic.twitter.com/8qp95qot0G
Many People Especially The So Called "Born Again" Claim They Don't Believe In Karma But It's Clearly Playing Out To Business Man Oyedepo,

My Tweet: David Oyedepo is using your head by collecting Shiloh sacrifice, tithes and first fruit from the poor and buying private jets.

Slaves: You are crazy.
Wait.
If Oyedepo is serving God, don't you think God will defend him instead of minions attacking me?
The church officials stole millions and the pastor sacked them. Where is the forgiveness once preached and visionary of Christ Jesus advocacy? By their fruits ye shall know them, Oyedepo isn’t different from end time pastors. After una go say nah pastor matter e no concern me ????

Lol. Is this not case of the Yoruba proverb Ole ji ole gba? Robbers stole from the robber? - robbers stealing from themselves? Last time I checked, Oyedepo does not own any industry nor produce any product. Making money from people through religious manipulation & sowing fear https://t.co/L8NvnCAVXh

“Don’t employ them and don’t sympathise with them. Whoever sympathises with the wicked is wicked himself.” - Bishop Oyedepo on church members who stole church money.

But same person has "sympathised" with the wicked and wanted Nigerians to "employ" him.
