TB Joshua Insists SCOAN Collapse Was An Attack

The founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua has released a new statement and the video showing the precise moment of SCOAN guest house collapse in Ikotun, Lagos State.

Unseen security footage “from another angle” has been published on YouTube by the official channel of SCOAN, EmmanuelTV.

The new video starts with an introduction, reminds viewers of the previous video and photo data available.

Then it switches to a security camera located inside SCOAN premises. The camera captured the bottom of the building. Some unsuspecting people may be seen walking outside the doomed guest house.

The incident from another angle. CCTV Footage. Camera 6.

But then the collapse happened. The video repeats in for a couple of times, in real time and in slow motion. Lucky survivors, who were meters from the collapsed building are seen scampering for safety.

The final part of the video shows more photos from the scene of the collapse, ‘floors piled on top of each other’. The SCOAN also takes an opportunity to express its deepest condolences.

T.B. Joshua Ministries also reiterated in a Facebook post that “the Church views this tragedy as part of an attack on The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations and in particular, Prophet T.B. Joshua.”

In the previous statement on September 26, 2014, Friday, the Church warned the media against giving “the impression that the collapse was due to structural defects”.

New video: SCOAN collapse from another angle.

See the newest video below:

It would be recalled that the leadership of SCOAN attributed the tragedy which happened in Lagos on September 12, 2014, to a strange aircraft. Several videos and photos have emerged after the incident showing the aircraft, most likely a plane, flying low for at least 4 times within one hour before disappearing. And after the incident the strange aircraft does not return.

This contradicts to the position of Lagos State authorites who previously declared that the tragedy resulted due to the failure by the Church to comply with building regulations. According to Lagos officials mounting of four extra floors on a foundation of the guest house that was originally designed to hold two storeys led to the tragedy.

Anita Oyakhilome's name & pic removed from Rhapsody of Realities

Anita Oyakhilome has been excluded from the newly released October-2014 edition of Rhapsody of Realities, Christ Embassy's monthly devotional. The devotional, which was started many years ago by the now estranged couple, usually had both their pictures and writings in the pages, but in this new 31-page edition, there's not one pic or article attributed to Pastor Anita, just pastor Chris.

Also, the back cover of the magazine which usually had a picture of the couple now has only Pastor Chris on it. See the exclusive pics after the cut...



It's now strictly Pastor Chris...

 Anita Oyakhilome used to be part of it...

Meanwhile a new single sister, Pastor Ms Yemisi Kudehinbu has been named the new Chief Executive officer of the Believers Loveworld, an arm of the church that produces the monthly devotional.

*Must Read* Synagogue miracles are not fake - T.B Joshua releases statement

T.B Joshua, many people believe his miracles are not real. Yesterday, a South African journalist published a report where he rubbished all the miracles that supposedly happens at the Synagogue Church of All Nations.

"I challenged the pilgrims to provide me with medical proof that they had been healed. None did.” journalist Jacques Pauw wrote..

The church has reacted to the published report via their Facebook page, claiming that all their miracles are 100% real because they were performed before the church and broadcast live via their Emmanuel TV. See their statement after the cut...

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE SCOAN
The SCOAN released a public statement yesterday, September 26, 2014 regarding a false story published in The Vanguard Newspaper, “Synagogue: We Sealed Off Building Before Collapse – LSBCA” which was a total fabrication intended to divert people’s attention from the issue at hand. The writer needs to be investigated concerning the building collapse.

To our surprise, a cover story with even greater fabrications was published today, September 27, 2014 in The Saturday Vanguard, “Are T.B. Joshua’s Miracles Real?” The writer(s) fabricated names of people who do not exist and remained nameless and faceless in order to hide their evil intentions. They need to be investigated.

It is our belief that these stories were intended to divert people’s attention from the evil that has been done. Those involved in these stories need to be investigated concerning the building collapse. If they are not directly involved, they will help the investigation. If they are not the ones who did it, they know those who did. Perhaps, they were involved in the building collapse because they claim what is happening in The SCOAN is fake. They are suspect.

Please note, all of The SCOAN services are public and broadcast live on Emmanuel TV.

Do not be misled and diverted from the truth. No matter how long a lie is sustained, the truth will someday prevail. Jesus is the Truth.

T.B. Joshua's Self-Proclaimed Protege Allegedly Kills Man In Abuja, Covers Up Death

T.B. Joshua's Self-Proclaimed
Protege Allegedly Kills Man In Abuja,
Covers Up Death
According to the wife of the deceased, the
pastor contracted a man who administered a
special kind of concoction to late Mr.
Ezenagu. This sick man who needed a
doctor or hospital didn't get that when he
needed it, but when he died, they deposited
his body at a mortuary and ordered that the
body be immediately embalmed, without the
consent of anyone from the dead man’s
family, not even his wife. Why so fast?

The late Samuel Chukwukadibia Ezenagu,  an
indigene of Umuogbu village, Awka, Anambra State,
Nigeria, was born to the late Prophet Chijioke and Eunice
Ezenagu, January 9, 1977.
Late Ezenagu is married to Mrs. Chisom Juliet Ezenagu,
and they are blessed with three beautiful kids. Late Ezenagu
was a committed choir member of Shiloh Word Chapel
Abuja, Nigeria; one of the administrators and advocate of
the Church. He was also part of the media department of
the Church and a personal friend of the founder and
spiritual head of Shiloh Word Chapel, Abuja, Prophet I. O.
Samuel, native of Nibo in Anambra state.
The deceased, Samuel Ezenagu
Ezenagu mysteriously took ill 5 months ago while actively
working in Shiloh Word Chapel supporting the vision of his
friend Prophet I.O. Samuel. This is a man that advertises
himself and his ministry as one anointed to cure all manner
of sicknesses, like HIV, cancers and others, but Mr.
Ezenagu did not receive the healing he so desperately
needed, neither was he taken to any hospital for medical
treatment.
Further, Samuel, the founder of Shiloh Word Chapel Abuja,
prides himself as a protege/son of T B Joshua, the leader of
Synagogue Church of All Nations, Lagos, hence one would
rightly think that when his anointing wasn't enough to
deliver the healing that late Ezenagu so desperately needed,
he would have rushed him to SCOAN for healing.
Did he do that? No, instead the sick man was moved out of
his home, and was hidden in a hotel room at Top Rank
Hotel FCT Abuja, by Samuel and his Lieutenant Okechukwu
(Okwuego) Okafor, with specific instruction to the sick
Ezenagu and his wife not to tell any of his family members
about his condition or whereabout. The said hotel room
became the hospital where they kept him, while they
misinformed the entire congregation about the whereabouts
and state of their fellow church member.
According to the wife of the deceased, Samuel and Okafor
contracted a man who regularly visited her husband at Top
Rank Hotel and administered a special kind of concoction to
late Mr. Ezenagu. During the entire period of his sickness,
all this was happening without any medical exams, tests, or
doctor's diagnosis or prescription. When his condition got
worse, Samuel and Okafor moved Ezenagu, back to his
house in Abuja, where he was abandoned and eventually
died Saturday, September 20, 2014.
This sick man who needed a doctor or hospital didn't get
that when he needed it, but when he died, they rapidly
deposited his lifeless body at a mortuary in Abuja, paid and
ordered that the body be immediately embalmed, without
the consent of anyone from the dead man’s family, not
even his wife. Why so fast?
We learn that the family of Ezenagu was not notified that
their brother was sick for those 5 months, furthermore, his
three siblings that live in the USA (one of them a doctor)
were not told, because the prophet had left specific
instructions that they not be contacted. Let’s assume that
Ezenagu had HIV, wouldn't it have been most prudent to tell
his siblings that live oversees who would have helped with
the procurement of medication and the like? But no, Samuel
and his cronies didn't think it was important.
The entire Ezenagu family of Awka, at home and abroad has
demanded and are willing to pay for an autopsy to
determine the cause of death of their ward, because
according to the man's sister (the doctor), HIV does not kill
that fast.
She posited that she saw her brother in November 2013 and
her brother wasn't sick and neither did he show any
symptoms of the HIV, hence an autopsy needs to be carried
out to determine the cause of death, since no tests were ran
on Samuel when he was sick that determined he had the
virus and he wasn't admitted or treated in an hospital for
HIV, hence there is no medical record anywhere to confirm
the sickness that Prophet Samuel claims that the deceased
died of.
Ezenagu and Pastor Samuel
To add insult to injury, Prophet I.O. Samuel and his church
have refused the Ezenagu family access to their sons
remains and have been doing everything possible to make
sure that an autopsy is not carried out. Instead they are
fighting feverishly to take the corpse back to the deceased's
hometown and give him a quick burial, which according to
Prophet I. O. Samuel was the wish of the dead man. The
wife of the dead man refutes that stating that her husband
wasn't making arrangements for death or burial because he
believed 100% that he was going to live, after all his friend
and Pastor was a healer that heals all sickness, he was sure
they were going to raise their children together and that he
would ultimately grow old with his beautiful wife. That
never happened.
Sunday September 21, one day after the death, a personal
friend and confidant of the founder of Shiloh Word Chapel, a
church insider, said that during that Sunday service the so
called man of God (Prophet I. O. Samuel) did not announce
the passing of his friend and confidant, a full and committed
member of his church, rather, the man of God conducted his
regular Sunday service, and even celebrated his birthday
with a special thanksgiving mixed with dancing, rejoicing
and celebration.
Come Monday, September 22nd, 2014, Samuel, his
lieutenant Okafor and their many allies, started a campaign
of calumny to discredit and disgrace the dead man saying
that he died of HIV. Let's assume for a minute that late Mr.
Samuel Ezenagu contacted the AIDS virus, isn't that what
his Pastor and friend Prophet I.O. Samuel brags that he
does in Shiloh Word Chapel Abuja, healing any kind of
sickness and disease? Even his website and his many
billboards all over the FCT boast of that.
Wouldn't the simple thing have been to use his hot
anointing to heal his friend, but instead the late Ezenagu
was hidden away at a hotel Abuja, probably because his
inability to be healed was going to be a big source of
embarrassment to this acclaimed healer.
What about his T B Joshua connection, a relationship he
proudly boasts about, shouldn't he have flown his dying
friend to TB for healing with higher anointing? No, the late
Ezenagu, a father of three little children, (with the oldest
child, only 4 years old), was left to die. What was his crime?
Why would a supposed man of God play God, pastor,
doctor, mortician, judge and jury?
Samuel, Okafor, and his supporters, as of today, Thursday,
September 25th 2014, still deny the Ezenagu family access
to their dead sons remains and are still trying by all means
necessary to move his corpse to his home town Awka,
Anambra State, Nigeria to bury him without conducting an
autopsy on him, to determine the true cause of his death.
Nigerians the blood of the deceased is calling for justice,
and that is not too much to ask. He is dead already, but his
soul won't rest in peace until all the parties involved in this
elaborate conspiracy surrounding his death are brought to

justice.

SCOAN Blasts Nigerian Media Over Incorrect Reports

Since the six-storey guest house inside the church’s
premises collapsed as additional floors were added to
the original 2 storey building, the Nigerian news media
has been agog with various reports concerning the
unfortunate incident.
The collapsed building, Prophet T.B. Joshua
The Nigerian news media in a bid to do its work has fed
fat on this incident, shedding more light into what really
went wrong. First, a journalist, Nicholas Ibekwe, came
out with a recorded voice-note proof claiming that the the
overseer of the SCOAN mission, Prophet T. B. Joshua
offered journalists N50,000 bribe in which he turned
down.
Another was that the building was sealed off by the Lagos
State Building Control Agency (LSBCA) a body that which
regulates and also concerned with buildings and
structures in Lagos state, before the unfortunate incident.
The list of updates on this incident is endless.

Church members, witnesses at the scene of the tragedy
However, the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
has taken to Facebook some minutes ago to show
contempt at a few stories that has gone round recently.
The post which carefully did not talk about the N5o,000
bribery allegations sadly made an attempt to correct
some of the stories that was published in two different
popular Nigerian media outfits.
Below is the content of the write-up:
This is an official communication from The Synagogue,
Church Of All Nations regarding some stories currently being
reported in the media about the recent incident that
happened in The SCOAN.
Our attention has been drawn to a publication in the
Vanguard Newspaper of 26th September 2014 titled,
‘Synagogue: We Sealed Off Building Before Collapse –
LSBCA’.
In the article, the General Manager of the Lagos State
Building Control Agency, Mrs Abimbola Animashahun
Odunayo was quoted as saying that the agency had sealed
off the building before it collapsed and that the church
ignored the warnings of the agency to stop construction. The
story was initially published by online media portal News24.
We deem it necessary to state that the above publication is
not true in that:
1. No contravention notice was served on the church before
the collapse because there was no reason for the issuance of
such notices.
2. The building had never been sealed off for any reason
whatsoever before the collapse of 12th September, 2014.
3. At no time was any stop-work notice or directive served
on the church or pasted on the building prior to 12th
September, 2014.
We however wish to state that the letters that were written to
the church by LSBCA were written after the collapse of
12/09/14 in the following order:
1. A letter dated 16/09/2014 Ref No. LASBCA/AL/PCA/
DH/01 requesting for the submission of a development
permit and approval of structures within the church complex,
four days after the building collapsed.
2. A contravention notice dated 17/09/2014 Ref No. AL/
LASBCA/DH/PCA/CN 06 alleging certain contraventions,
five days after the building collapsed.
3. A letter dated 17/09/14 Ref No. AL/LASBCA/DH/PCA/CN
06 requesting for non-destructive tests for structural
stability, five days after the building collapsed.
It must be noted that no sealing or quit notice has been
served as the building never called for such.
In the above circumstances, we would like to believe that
LSBCA has been quoted out of context with the motive of
destroying the ongoing investigation into the case as well as
casting doubt on the position of the church that the collapse
was due to an attack.
Our attention was also drawn to a publication in Nigeria’s
Guardian Newspaper of Friday 26th September 2014 titled,
‘Early Probe Report Indicates Compromise In Synagogue
Building.’
The article quoted the Honourable Commissioner for Physical
Planning and Urban Development, Lagos State, Mr Toyin
Ayinde, as saying that one of the columns or pillars of the
collapsed building in the church measured 2 feet by 2 feet
and that the reinforcement used for the same was 16mm.
This publication is also misleading and untrue. There is no
doubt that it was calculated to give the impression that the
collapse was due to structural defects as against the
position of the church to the contrary.
We hereby request all the involved parties to take the
necessary steps towards correcting such dangerous
misinformation so as not to mislead the entire country and
the international community.
We also urge the media to take necessary steps towards
avoiding the publication of unconfirmed stories in future.
We should not pre-empt and interfere with the ongoing
investigation.
The SCOAN
It would be recalled that just recently, following the
tragedy, two South Africans, Thanduxolo Doro and Mpho
Molebatsi, who lost relatives in the incidence have
revealed plans to sue Prophet TB Joshua.
