N2B LAW SUIT AGAINT OYEDEPO FOR SLAPPING A FEMALE MEMBER, HEARING BEGINS TOMORROW.

Curled from PM News;

The N2 billion suit instituted against the founder of the Living Faith Christian Church International, Bishop David Oyedepo, for slapping a young lady in his church would be heard at the Ogun State High Court on 2 May, reports Premium Times.



Robert Igbinedion, the lawyer who filed the suit on behalf of the young lady, two weeks ago, is seeking the court to award N2 billion as 'general and exemplary damages' against the flamboyant pastor.







Mr. Oyedepo was named the richest pastor in Nigeria last year by Forbes magazine with an estimated worth of over N20 billion.



Mr. Igbinedion says he intends to launch a barrage of petitions against the bishop "to stop him until investigations are over so he will not escape."



"To let him know we are serious, I'm going to send a petition to the Ogun State Commissioner of Police on Monday (today) to investigate the assault," Mr. Igbinedion told Premium Times over the phone, on Saturday.



"I'm also going to send copies of the petition to the American Embassy, the UK, and the EU to stop him from coming into their countries until the police clear him," he added.



Bishop Oyedepo had allegedly slapped a young lady during his church programme, an action some worshippers argued was to exorcise the demon in the lady who claimed to be "a witch for Jesus".



The video clip of the incident went viral as it was circulated on social networking sites on the internet. It was greeted with outrage and condemnation of the bishop's action.

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta.

Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz.
