“How armed men stormed our home” – Love Ogah

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.
