How Aides looted Synagogue, hid T.B Joshua’s phones, plotted sell of aircraft after Prophet’s death

• EFCC investigates

Personal Assistants to late Founder and Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, called popularly Prophets/Prophetesses and Disciples, have been alleged to have seized power and rocking the boat of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) after the death of the Founder, Prophet T.B. Joshua. The discipline were said to have inherited SCOAN, appoint themselves heirs of the spiritual and estates of the world renowned Prophet T.B. Joshua, sacking the legitimate heirs which include Joshua’s wife, Mrs. Evelyn T.B. Joshua, and her three biological children, Sarah, Promise and Heart!
An Elder of the Synagogue, Elder Kayode Emmanuel, had cried out that “what is happening in Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) today will be a shock to many…”
Elder Emmanuel lamented that the Personal Assistants of late Prophet T.B Joshua have “unilaterally constituted themselves into the APEX COUNCIL of the church and appointed within themselves a new General Overseer (G.O). and Mommy G.O!”

According to Elder Kayode Emmanuel, “Far beyond this, they also established the Governing Council for the church in which all positions are shared within themselves with no member of T.B. Joshua’s family or any church member on board!

“Ironically, these are mere T.B. Joshua workers who are not even qualified to be called members of the Church …”

The Elder stated that disenchanted church members see the action of the dissident disciples as spiritual coup detat or a kind opportunistic spiritual gangsterism, that is antithetical and inimical to the sanctuary.
Elder Kayode Emmanuel narrated that right from the moment T.B. Joshua passed on, the Personal Assistants constituted themselves into extraordinary uncontrollable authority and power with enormous and reckless freedom under the guise of managing the church affairs in the interim, including the funeral. “They became worldly to the chagrin of church members with flagrant disrespect and nonchalant attitude to their mentor, T.B. Joshua’s family,” he declared.

Many concerned church members were said to be perturbed about the selfish materialistic ambitions and hypocrisy of the disciples who were pretenders when Prophet T.B Joshua was alive. “Their lifestyles suddenly changed too. They took over all workers, sacked those they didn’t trust and brainwashed all others into total submission to their whims and caprices to such an extent that none of them would respect any instruction or request from Mrs. Joshua, in flagrant dishonour and nonchalant attitude! It was a spectacle of the highest order.
“Church elders and entire visiting members were dumbfounded.
“They reasoned that things should not be allowed to continue in this way for the future of the church… ” Elder Emmanuel further narrated.

Elder Emmanuel disclosed that the disciples hijacked the strong room, allegely looted the Church treasury.
“They took over the church’s strong room, carting away the money with reckless abandon. “Sometime in the thick of the night, they would come with several giant “Ghana-must-go” bags to cart away currencies to the Mountain, not knowing they were being cleverly recorded.
“They have their own personal bureau de change.
“Their scheme and operation were well conceived. They even went ahead to open another Global network account without the church or family’s knowledge.
“Available Information shows many of them have become overnight multimillionaires within the last few months!
“Their agenda is tall and total. All Prophet T.B. Joshua’s phones which contain valuable contacts and information, including global partners were withheld by them.
“After a lot of pressure by Mrs. Joshua and several well-meaning personalities who held several long hours of meetings with them demanding for her husband’s phones, and allow sanity to reign, they eventually released the phones.
“By the time they released them, they had wiped off everything in the phones so that she won’t have access to anything about them and partners!
“But before then, they had also transferred all the information to their own private custody.
“They have been using the information to contact partners and securing funds without the knowledge of Mrs. Joshua or any authentic member of the church, beside a few of them at top of the discipleship,” Elder Kayode Emmanuel further narrated.
He decried rhat something is more worrisome and shocking.

The Elder revealed: “without the knowledge of Mrs. Joshua and the family, these people of God now living on the Prayer Mountain, arranged to sell off T.B Joshua’s aircraft before the bubble burst!
“All arrangements had been perfectly sealed by them before the fraud was discovered.”
He stated that they have personal bureau de change!
“It is not surprising that EFCC is investigating their activities over their sudden emergence as millionaires,” Elder Kayode Emmanuel said.

He also declared: “available Information shows many of them have become overnight multimillionaires within the last few months!” He maintained that they
have a tall and ambitious agenda: “To corner the church and its entire resources without any second thought for the legal implications and consequences.”
Elder Emmanuel stated that “they have been using T.B. Joshua’s contacts, on behalf of the church, to secure funds which neither any of T.B. Joshua’s family nor church members were aware of not until information was coming from the back doors!”

The Elder also lamented that the so-called disciples have converted the Prayer Mountain of the Church at Agodo Egbe designed only for prayers to their residence! “They completely abandoned their official quarters in the church and relocated to the Mountain along with their personal attendants where they were living large,” Elder Emmanuel said.

According to Elder Kayode Emmanuel “Prayer Mountain was embarrassingly and gradually becoming a place where they hold parties, conduct their businesses and private affairs – a development that was never in practice when T.B. Joshua was alive.”
He protested that none of T.B. Joshua’s family is privy to all monies collected from partners all over the world during his burial and after the burial.

The Elder stated that the continued lockdown if the Church without services was not acceptable to church members.
“The behaviour of these disciples has also become a serious concern. All these led the Church elders, under the new BOT Chairperson, to call for a comprehensive audit of the church, save some critical assets not yet manipulated and to ask those on the Mountain to come down and go on leave at least in the interim for proper management and discipline in the church,” Elder Kayode Emmanuel declared.

Elder Kayode Emmanuel, accordingly said:
“SCOAN is obviously going through a new phase of experience in its life. Members and public are watching the landing of the church of a great Prophet whose positive impacts had globally touched the lives of many.”

He recalled: “The man of God himself, late Senior Prophet T.B. Joshua, used to say: ‘I don’t trust you; I cannot trust you because you are a human being. “It’s only God I trust. “Don’t trust me either. Trust only God, let God alone be your trust. But I love you and let love leads in all you do’.”

The Elder added that “consequently, Mrs. Evelyn T.B.Joshua was forced to rise up to the challenges of preserving and strengthening the good legacy left behind by her husband by the unholy circumstances. ”
