An investigation, wrapped in a documentary series conducted by BBC, has eloquently unwrapped several alleged atrocities committed by the leader and founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua.

The documentary video was released on Monday, featuring allegations from different voices of people who had had certain affinities with the late founder of the popular Christian church, SCAN. The voices heard were not of praises but of harsh revelations of the regrets they had been harboring about experiences with the late man of God.
Being a film that is set at giving voices to the seemingly voiceless victims of rape, forced abortions, and other vicious treatments, the documentary strived to demystify the popular opinion of the overreaching acts of the dead.
When he was alive, the late prophet was said to have been many faces of various evils to allegers – many of whom were featured in the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary. According to a female alleger, one of the misconceptions people had about the universally connected preacher was that he was a lover of children which was a lie!
With allegations flying like Israeli-Palestinian strikes in the documentary film, there was no TB Joshua to counter ‘credibility’, as many of these attempts at decolonizing people’s revered opinion of the late religious leader, TB Joshua, was defended by others in the video who also were busy pathetically sharing their individual ‘excruciating’ experiences with him.
What is common with the countenances of those alleged victims was the visceral display of past recollections which were all probably unintendedly garnished with tears and some beckoning to sympathy. Also, much calling for attention is observed in the part where it was discovered that the peddled vice had spanned decades with silences, and no one, absolutely no one to bell the cat as they now do on the BBC.
That’s suspicious!

Before now, the standing reputational belief on ground was that TB Joshua was a hero who had left significantly indelible legacies on the marbles of memory, and as it were, they could not be easily erased. In addition to that fact, many who had benefitted immensely from the ample generosity of the late philanthropist and pastor would not divulge contradictions.
And to cap it all to climax, much interesting is the truth that, to many nationalists’ opinion, there is the trust which was accorded to the very uncanny manner in which the late TB Joshua had avenged the evil colonial treatment of Africans on African soil by making sure to bring the sons and daughters of those callous colonial masters back to Africa to carry bricks and mortars for the building of his church.
But the astounding element in this new development is the splash of mud cast on the picture of this same man who is suddenly being tagged the devil’s incarnate. It then makes one wonder what the intention of the BBC documentary could be.
A revenge or just a simple fight for the rights of the voiceless?
