The investigative report by the British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) Africa Eye, yesterday released a compendium of the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Balogun Joshua, accusing him of fake miracles, rape and torture of some church members subjecting them to solitary confinement.
The over-150-minute-long video, split into three parts and published on YouTube, is titled “Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua”. It also took into account the stories of former disciples and church workers.
The victims claimed that they were raped and also underwent forced abortions in a secretive Lagos compound for almost 20 years.
The report delved deeper into the collapse of a guest house for pilgrims in 2014, killing at least 116 people.
Joshua was also accused of faking his “miracle healings”, which were broadcast to millions of people around the world.
Responding, SCOAN said past allegations against the late Joshua were unsubstantiated but did not address the current accusations.
