Allegations of rape, assaults, ritual and fake miracles have been levied against Late Televangelist Prophet T.B Joshua by BBC Africa recently. This could also make one wonder what effect the testimonials of victims are meant to change or achieve after the big reveal.
Over 25 people have accused the late Nigerian pastor, T.B Joshua, of sexual assault, physical abuse, and other atrocities. These allegations span almost 20 years and include rape, forced abortions, and torture.
Joshua founded the Synagogue Church of All Nations, a 12-story building in the Ikotun area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Despite his death, the church continues to operate under the leadership of his widow, Evelyn. In his lifetime, Joshua attracted dozens of politicians and celebrities to his church with his miraculous healing powers.
But as far back as the late 90s when state-owned TV stations were the only broadcasting channels, The Synagogue Church of All Nations has often aired church programmes Nigerians always found his miracle ministry very controversial and most orthodox Christians do not want to be associated with him or his church, people felt his miracles were questionable.
Despite the ambiguity around him and his church as far back as the 90s, all that has slipped out have been rumours and a few eye-witnesses who have experienced one thing or the other giving information in the past. Makes one wonder why BBC has decided to come out with the documentary The Disciples after the death of the accused.
This sadly might only mean a healing process for the abused and previous deeds of a dead man. BBC can only make this worthwhile by going out on research to fish out hidden secrets of other dubious men of God in Nigeria, just like they did with the Nigerian universities’ lecturers abusing female students for grades.
