In another video released by Sahara TV and captured by the BBC, a former disciple of Temitope Balogun Joshua, widely known as TB Joshua, has come forward with disturbing allegations. App
However, another ex-follower revealed that, prior to conducting a religious service, TB Joshua would engage in sexual activities with one or two girls.
The ex-disciple emphasized the disturbing nature of these interactions, stressing that these girls were considered like sisters, and TB Joshua attempted to unite them.
The video captures the ex-disciple stating, “I observed that TB Joshua needed to engage with one or two girls sexually before conducting a service.
“He would seamlessly proceed to the service without even taking a shower. Upon returning, he would promptly call them, and some would happily answer, saying ‘Papa is calling me.’ Over time, I noticed his efforts to bring several girls together, emphasizing that they were like sisters.”
These revelations have sparked a wave of controversy and concern within the community of TB Joshua’s followers and the wider public.
The allegations shed light on a side of the influential religious leader that many had not seen or even imagined.
The ex-disciple’s account raises questions about the ethical conduct of TB Joshua and the potential impact on his religious organization.
In response to a contentious BBC documentary about Pastor T.B. Joshua, Pastor Debo Akinyemi of the Redeemed Christian Church of God shared his experiences in a write-up published by ChurchTimes Nigeria.
According to Punch, it was reported that given his close but brief interaction with the TB Joshua as a journalist, he finds it necessary to contribute to the ongoing controversy that was sparked by the recent expose by the BBC.
The divided opinions on the BBC documentary indicate the uncertainty surrounding whether he was a genuine man of God or not.
Akinyemi said that in his personal view, he appeared to be somewhere in between, and it was challenging to categorize him due to his outwardly flawless look and internally questionable behavior.
He said while he was still working with “The Exclusive,” a quaint weekly Newspaper TB Joshua was publishing, he would summon them for meetings in the evening but he will never show up until midnight. And while they would be waiting for TB Joshua, they would be given sumptuous meals to eat but he doesn’t join others in eating the meals.
“But one thing I could not avoid was the bulky envelope filled with money that he always handed out to us at each meeting. You could open your envelope and find as much as 25,000.
Just as you could be summoned to another meeting the following day or each day the rest of the week after which the envelope would go round. It never mattered if you had not touched the handout of the previous meetings where nothing of importance was discussed.”
“Sometimes he (TB Joshua) would just say the meeting was to commend some of us for the stories we wrote. This seemed to make him the toast of the team except me. This generosity seemed more subversive than anything else. What publisher would call meetings to disrupt editorial schedules just to share envelopes?” he said.
