The news of how David Olaniyi Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, escaped an assassination attempt on his life has now gone viral.

The daughter of the renowned clergyman made headlines on April 16, 2025, after she narrated a childhood experience that she could never forget.

In a now-viral sermon, Love Ogah explained to the congregation how her father managed to escape an assassination without a hitch.

According to her, one fateful night, armed men barged into their home and specifically stated that they were there to execute her father, Oyedepo.

Love said they kept asking for his whereabouts, but interestingly, he was right there – yet, for some reason beyond her, they just could not see him.

They ransacked the house for hours, and the family had to hide behind the door. They shot at it, and the bullet later hit her top gum. Her aunt was already in tears, asking what would have happened if they had found him.

She said her father, Bishop Oyedepo, came out of his room and said he had been looking at them the whole time, but they could not see him.

She, however, implored people to know God for themselves and have a relationship with him.

Her revelation sparked a stir on social media, as fans debated whether it was truly possible.
