Nigerian artist Victor Adere, widely recognized as Victor AD, has challenged the BBC’s three-part documentary alleging staged miracles and mistreatment of members by the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Temitope Balogun Joshua, aka TB Joshua.
Victor AD asserted on Wednesday, through a tweet on his official handle, that his family has been attending SCOAN since he was six years old, and he himself was healed of a skin disease.
He further shared that TB Joshua restored his mother’s hand, which was at risk of amputation due to a gunshot wound, and healed his sister from blindness during her secondary school days.
he “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).”
Meanwhile, a viral video has surfaced depicting the moment Victor AD attempted to heal his mother through a video call. In the video, he claimed to have used the ‘anointing water’ obtained from the church, spraying it on his phone screen while passionately exclaiming ‘Be healed’ upon seeing his mother’s injured hand.
Reports state on Monday that social media has been buzzing in the aftermath of a three-part expose on the alleged hidden aspects of the late televangelist, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua (TB Joshua) by the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Africa Eye.
The extensive video, divided into three episodes and available on YouTube under the title ‘Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua,’ showcased testimonies from various witnesses, making multiple damning allegations against the late prophet.
Former disciples and church workers, primarily from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Namibia, and South Africa, gave testimonies alleging that the prophet manipulated and physically abused them, compelling them to stay with him for extended periods, ranging from 10 to 14 years based on this manipulation.
Responding to the accusation, a public affairs analyst and member of SCOAN, Mr. Dare Adejumo, contested the BBC documentary about the church’s founder on Tuesday.
He characterized the documentary as baseless, highlighting that the individuals interviewed in the report were unfamiliar to the church.
