TB Joshua Raped, Tortured Worshippers, Faked Miracles – BBC Report

Three years after his death, the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, Temitope Balogun, TB Joshua, has been accused of raping and torturing some of his worshippers while alive.

An investigative report by the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, spanning over two years, said five Britons accused TB Joshua of rape and forced abortions in a secretive Lagos compound spanning almost 20 years.

Also, the late televangelist was accused of faking his “miracle healings,” which were broadcast to millions of people around the world.

One of the alleged victims, a British woman called Rae, was 21 years old when she abandoned her degree at Brighton University in 2002 and was recruited into the church. She spent the next 12 years as one of Joshua’s so-called “disciples” inside his maze-like concrete compound in Lagos.

“We all thought we were in heaven, but we were in hell, and in hell terrible things happen,” she told the BBC.

Rae said she was sexually assaulted by Joshua and subjected to a form of solitary confinement for two years. The abuse was so severe she said she attempted suicide multiple times inside the compound.

TB Joshua was the founder of SCOAN, which is situated in the Ikotun area of Lagos State.

He died a week before his 58th birthday, on June 5, 2021, after conducting a service.
