The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) on Tuesday strongly contested the portrayal of its late founder, Temitope Babatunde Joshua, better known as TB Joshua, in a recent BBC documentary. The church denounced the film as “unfounded” and questioned the credibility of the individuals featured in it.
In a statement issued to the media, SCOAN declared that the BBC production “grossly misrepresented” the life and legacy of TB Joshua, who passed away in June 2021. The church particularly refuted the claims and accounts presented by various interviewees in the documentary, alleging that none of them were recognized or affiliated with SCOAN.
“The individuals interviewed in the documentary are unknown to our church and their perspectives do not reflect the reality of SCOAN or the ministry of Prophet T.B. Joshua,” the statement emphasized.
SCOAN further questioned the BBC’s editorial choices and fact-checking processes, suggesting a lack of journalistic objectivity in the portrayal of Joshua and his ministry. The church vowed to provide a comprehensive rebuttal to the documentary’s claims in the coming days, presenting “facts and testimonies” to counter the “false narratives” it deemed harmful to the late church leader’s reputation.
