Death Toll In Bauchi Church Bombing Hits Over 20…As Bishop Oyedepo Visits Scene, Curses Boko Haram
More deaths have been recorded in the Sunday suicide bombing of two churches in Yalwa area of Bauchi, with the latest death toll said to be over 20. The increase in death toll is coming even as Boko Haram today claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.
Also today, the General Overseer of one of the affected churches, Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel visited the site of the attack where he rained curses on Boko Haram and other terrorists organizations troubling the country.
Oyedepo whose private jet landed at the Bauchi airstrip at about 1:50 pm local time was accompanied on the visit by Bishop David Abioye and other Bishops and senior pastors of the church. A visibly angry Oyedepo in a fiery prayer of vengeance pronounced curses on Boko Haram, other terrorists, their supporters and financiers in the country, prophesying an end to their activities.
Oyedepo who was received at the airstrip by the presiding pastor of living faith church in bauchi, Pastor Gaius Biyal, his wife and other senior pastors of the church, as well as the President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN)in bauchi, Reverend Emeka Emefesi said: “We serve a God of vengeance who has vowed to avenge the saints. He will descend his instrument of death on the camp of the enemy. We invoke the vengeance of God on the camp of Boko Haram and their sponsors.
“We decree that this week is a week of vengeance and God will unleash his instrument of death on their camp. This month is a month of vengeance and so we release arrows of humiliating deaths on them”
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bauchi State, Reverend Lawi Pokti, has confirmed a rise in casualty figure in the attack. Speaking at a press conference in bauchi today, the CAN chairman disclosed that 20 Christians and a Muslim died in the Sunday bomb blast that rocked Winners Chapel and the Harvest Field Church.
Pokti said 12 of the deceased died as a result of the bomb blast while eight died as a result of wounds sustained from the gunshots of soldiers drafted to the scene to maintain law and order.
“Women and children have received various degrees of wounds from military bullets. As far as the civilised world is concerned, we see this as extra-judicial killing and an unfortunate worthy of all remorse by Nigerians”,he added.
Also, the Chief Medical Director,of the Unijos teaching hospital , Dr Mohammed Alkali has said that the hospital received 87 casualties out of which 61 were seriously injured persons and 16 dead bodies who were victims of the bomb blast, adding that two more persons died today.

Pedro or what u call urself if u r not careful ur head will follow 4 u 2 support what Joself said. Maybe u self don’t read ur bible very well 4 u 2 know that our God bless Abraham and he became very rich. He bless Isaac, Solomon d richest in d bible was bless by God, David his father was bless by God. Job was bless by God. Why then is Oyedepo’s wealth giving u people headache? Or are u saying that God can’t bless his children? U better be careful

I am very sure that your name is not Joseph. You are one of the terorrist. Your end has finally come unless you repent. For talking like this to anointed man of God, expect the Judgement of God withing seven days except God did not call Bishop Oyedepo Himself. You have used your laptop or phone and your finger to cause death for yourself. I pity you.

Joseph i pity u. Job was a rich man bt stil loved God. God wants us 2 prosper and b in health. D bible says we shld sufer nt d witch 2 live. 4 d wicked shal perish. Boko haram hav touchd d apple of Gods eye d wold pay. So i tink u shld examine urself. And no mata wat do nt spk lyk dat abt a man of God. U did nt anoint him. God did

Why do you talk like a stark bigot? There is nothing wrong with what joseph said. Even if there is something wrong with it, all you needed to do was to correct him with biblical facts,I mean counter his claims about heaven and riches with biblical facts. I guess you can’t do this because he was spot-on. We need to tell ourselves the truth, until the very last day, I repeat, until the very last day we cannot really tell who is a man of God or man of gods. Prosperity is not a yardstick of Godliness as you were made to believe by ur pastors. Take it or leave it, but remains the truth. Jesus said you cannot serve God and mammon, and mammon is known as the god of prosperity. Worshiping God for the sake of prosperity is akin to worshiping mammon. The bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other thing would be added,and not worship God for you to be rich as it is now being preached by prosperity pastors. Wether oyedepo is a man of God or of gods is left for God to judge and not you and I. threatening Joseph with the name of Oyedepo is purely out of place and unbecoming of a true Christian. Selah

Which God does this so call Oyedepo of a man serve. The Lord Jesus told us to pray for our enemies yet this man is cursing his enemies. If he is a real man of God why did he not see the bombing coming? He and his type are responsible for all the ills in our country. He should sell his Jets and channel the money toward infrastructures in the country. Remember that a rich man came to Jesus and asked what he could do to gain eternal life and He responded that he should sell all he had and give the proceed to the poor. We came to where we are now when all these so called Pentecostal churches started preaching about prosperity.
Oyedepo and his type should repent and serve the living God before it will be too late for them.
