Nigerian vocalist Victor Adere, widely recognized as Victor AD, has rebuffed the three-part documentary produced by the BBC, which accused the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Balogun Joshua, also known as TB Joshua, of orchestrating staged miracles and subjecting his members to torture, abuse, and trauma.
In a tweet shared on Wednesday, Victor AD countered the documentary, asserting that his family has been attending SCOAN since he was six years old when he was healed of a skin disease. He highlighted instances where TB Joshua reportedly restored his mother’s hand, slated for amputation due to a gunshot wound, and healed his sister of blindness during her school days.
The “Wetin We Gain” singer stated, “Prophet TB Joshua fake ke? Person wey God use heal me from skin disease at the age of 6, restored my mum’s hand that was supposed to be amputated due to gunshot wound, or is it my sister that got healed from blindness during her primary school days. So, many wonderful deeds!! Which of these are fake or staged? When my family and I were homeless he gave us shelter and fed us. God is not a man.”
Undeterred by the allegations, Victor AD concluded, “Say whatever you like. E no go change God from being God.”
Victor AD joins others in defending the late TB Joshua against the accusations raised in the documentary. Many Nigerians have criticized the documentary, choosing to focus on the positive aspects of the late clergyman.
In response to the documentary titled ‘Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua,’ public affairs analyst and SCOAN member Dare Adejumo dismissed it as unfounded. He emphasized that the individuals interviewed were unknown to the church.
