January 10, (THEWILL) – Nigerian singer, Victor Adere, popularly known as Victor AD, has countered the BBC’s three-part documentary accusing the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Balogun Joshua, aka TB Joshua, of performing staged miracles and torturing, abusing and traumatising his members.
Victor AD, on Wednesday, via a tweet on his X handle, said that his family has been attending SCOAN since he was six and healed of a skin disease.
He also noted that TB Joshua restored his mum’s hand, which was supposed to be amputated due to a gunshot wound and his sister, who was healed from blindness during secondary school days.
The “wetin we gain” crooner wrote, “Prophet TB Joshua fake ke? Person wey God use heal me from skin disease at the age of 6 (sic), restored my mum’s hand that was supposed to be amputated due to gunshot wound, or is it my sister that got healed from blindness during her primary school days.
“So, many wonderful deeds!! Which of these are fake or staged? When my family and I were homeless he gave us shelter and fed us. God is not a man.”
Being unconvinced by the allegations, Victor AD said, “Say whatever you like. E no go change God from being God (sic).”
Victor AD is not the only one who has stood in defense of the vilified late TB Joshua. Quite a number of Nigerians have also condemned the documentary, choosing only to see the good sides of the late clergyman.
Following the three-part over-150-minute-long video, divided into three episodes and published on YouTube, titled, ‘Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua’, showing the video testimonies of several witnesses levelling multiple damning allegations against the late prophet by former disciples and church workers, alleging that the prophet allegedly manipulated and physically abused them into staying with him for many years, a public affairs analyst and member of the SCOAN, Dare Adejumo, faulted the documentary on the founder of the church.
He described the documentary as unfounded, noting that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church.
