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.

She claimed they ransacked the house for hours, and the family had to hide behind the door. Love added that they (the attackers) shot at the door, and the bullet later hit her top gum.

Love said 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 watching 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 testimony sparked a stir on social media, as fans debated whether it was truly possible.
