Synagogue Church Rejects BBC Documentary Allegations Against TB Joshua

The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) has issued a strong rebuttal to the three-part BBC African Eye documentary, “Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua.” The documentary explores allegations of a dark side to the late founder, Prophet T.B. Joshua, which SCOAN vehemently denies as “baseless and unfounded.”

SCOAN’s Public Affairs Director, Dare Adejumo, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the BBC’s journalistic approach, accusing the network of “woefully deviating from true journalism” and presenting “biased and offensive reports.”

“Only the BBC can best explain why it woefully deviated from true journalism and chose to be dishing junk and feeding the public with stones called bread by its offensive and disenchanted reports of disgruntled elements,” Adejumo stated.

The documentary claimed that SCOAN remained silent when approached for comment on the allegations. However, SCOAN’s statement aims to set the record straight and asserts that the documentary is an “insult to professional and public intelligence.”

Reactions to the documentary, which premiered on January 8th, have been diverse, with some dismissing it as manipulation and others sharing personal and often distressing experiences with Prophet T.B. Joshua and SCOAN.

The church, in its response, emphasises that “hundreds of BBC charades cannot diminish the indelible footprints of T.B. Joshua’s legacies on Earth.”

This controversy is not the first time SCOAN has faced public outcry over alleged crimes by its late founder. Former close aides featured in the documentary detailed disturbing testimonies of torture, rape, abortions, manipulations, and deception, accusing Joshua of hiding under the guise of charity to perpetrate evil, particularly on young women and girls.

Despite protests from former staff while Joshua was alive, he publicly debunked their claims in a sermon, receiving strong support from his global following.

The documentary further claims that T.B. Joshua passed away within 24 hours of learning some of his disciples had spoken to the BBC, reigniting controversy over the life of a man celebrated worldwide for his charitable acts but also condemned for allegedly engaging in practices he preached against.
