Nigerian artist Victor Adere, popularly known as Victor AD, has responded to the BBC’s three-part series accusing the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Temitope Balogun Joshua, also called TB Joshua, of staging miracles and torturing, abusing, and traumatizing his members.
Victor AD said on Wednesday, via his X handle, that his family has been visiting Scotland since he was six years old and that he has recovered from a skin illness.
He also mentioned that TB Joshua restored his mother’s hand, which was intended to be amputated due to a gunshot wound, and his sister, who was healed of blindness during his secondary school years.
The “Wetin We Gain” singer wrote, “Prophet TB Joshua fake ke?”
“Perhaps God used to heal me from skin disease at the age of 6 (sic) and restore my mom’s hand that was supposed to be amputated due to a 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.”
Victor AD, unsatisfied by the claims, responded, “Say anything you want. “I will not change God from being God.”
Meanwhile, a viral video shows Victor AD attempting to heal the mother in a video conversation after obtaining what he said was “anointing water” from the church and spraying it on the screen of his phone while yelling “Be healed” when he saw his mother’s “injured hand.”.
Following the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Africa Eye’s three-part expose on the purported secret lives of the late televangelist, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua (TB Joshua), social media went agog.
The over-150-minute movie, titled “Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua” and aired on YouTube, featured video testimonials from different witnesses who leveled numerous devastating claims against the late prophet.
Former disciples and church workers claimed that the prophet deceived and physically assaulted them into remaining with him for years.
The majority of them, especially from the United States, the United Kingdom, Namibia, and South Africa, claimed to have spent 10 to 14 years in the synagogue as a result of that manipulation.
However, in response to the claim, Mr. Dare Adejumo, a public affairs analyst and member of the SCOAN, criticized the BBC documentary on the church’s founder.
He dismissed the video as false, adding that the people mentioned in the report were unfamiliar to the church.
