A report by the BBC's Africa Eye uncovered allegations against the late Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), accusing him of raping, torturing, and subjecting church members to solitary confinement over nearly 20 years. The investigative report, spanning two years, included victim accounts detailing these incidents, along with claims of forced abortions within a secretive Lagos compound. The report, published in a three-part, 150-minute video titled "Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua" on YouTube, also explored the stories of former disciples and workers.
It further investigated the 2014 collapse of a guest house for church pilgrims, resulting in the death of at least 116 individuals. Additionally, Joshua faced allegations of faking miracle healings broadcasted to millions worldwide.
Reaction by some views
@WondaDell: “Y’all think a single documentary with no valid evidence but just accusations can eradicate whatever God has used TB Joshua to do for the world. It’s not like we’re in a court where judges rule in accordance to whatever is been said by a witness.”
@snort_randy, said: “Me and my brothers would only tune in to EmmanuelTV whenever we needed a good laugh. We could still see through the gimmicks as young as we were; reason why I find it absurd how adults fell for his theatrics. Used to drive my mom nuts every time we laughed.”
