An 18-year-old girl is challenging the divinity of Nigeria’s super rich pastor and self-styled bishop, David Oyedepo, who a few years ago transcended to the aerial realm by acquiring four private jets.

Fondly called Papa by his congregation, Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith World Outreach Ministry, is placed on the pedestal of deities by his followers.

A fortnight ago at the Faith Tabernacle, the 50,000-capacity worship centre where Oyedepo hosts three services each Sunday, a rapid-fire prayer session was conducted against satanic forces attempting to pull down the house of God. The congregation stopped short of pronouncing a Christian version of a fatwa.

Days earlier, word had it that a little mortal had done the unthinkable.

The bishop is still reeling from the aftershock following a $1.3 million (Sh100 million) lawsuit slammed on him by a female church member whom the man of the cloth last year physically assaulted in public.
