The Synagogue Church of all Nations, SCOAN, has refuted the claims of widespread abuse and torture by its founder, the late Prophet T.B. Joshua made by former members who spoke to BBC News.
The leadership of one of the world’s biggest Christian evangelical churches described the now-viral documentary as “junks.”
The BBC News, on Monday, released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua after a two-year investigation.
Dozens of ex-SCOAN members shared personal accounts of physical violence or torture, sexual assault, and forced abortions by the late prophet.
The former “disciples” also gave first-hand accounts of how Joshua faked his “miracle healings” which were broadcast to millions of people around the world.
In a statement signed by its public affairs director, Dare Adejumo, the church said “Everything the BBC put together is strange to SCOAN.”
Adejumo described the documentary as “weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.”
He accused the BBC News of “roadside journalism”, noting that “hundreds of BBC charades cannot rubbish the indelible footprints of TB Joshua’s legacies on earth again.”
“Only BBC can best explain why it woefully deviated from true journalism and chose to be dishing junks and feeding the public with stones called bread by its offensive and disenchanted reports of disgruntled elements,” Adejumo added.
Further dismissing the documentary, the church said the documentary is “illogical, irritating, incomprehensible, unfathomable and satanically dubious and malicious.”
