Bishop Oyedepo Escapes Death

Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, a.k.a Winners’ Chapel has revealed how he escaped death…

“In the 1997 incident all hell broke loose and landing in Lagos became impossible during a heavy thunderstorm. The aircraft went up and down as the captain attempted to land during several attempts until he eventually landed.”

“In the second incident, one engine of our aircraft failed in-flight. On May 4, 1998, we were on a flight to Kano when I noticed our plane was going down. I went to the cockpit to ask the pilot what was going on. Then, he announced that we just lost one engine. Calmly, I told him to make a turn back to Lagos. We were eight on board. As soon as we landed and we were at our packing space, we heard a sound that announced the death of the second engine.”

“In the third and recent incident, the cause of the incident was a stabiliser trim motor failure, according to the report of the captain, Samuel Adeboga. After the failure, the auto-pilot could no longer exact the required pressure to keep the aircraft in the required altitude for stability.”

“The captain disconnected the auto-pilot and returned the aircraft to the required altitude for that phase of flight. Because the aircraft was out of trim, during the take-over, the aircraft abruptly pitched up with much G-force and the captain counter-acted it with a pitch downforce.”

“These two counter-forces caused the abrupt turbulence and movement in the cabin and the cargo hold. Heavy items in the cargo hold fell from their compartments and made loud bang noise. We thank the God of this great commission for making the pilot act promptly. Similar incidents in the past have resulted in fatal accidents and loss of life.”
