The founder of the Synagogue Church of All
Nations, Temitope Joshua, has refuted
allegations that he performs fake miracles.
The pastor has come under severe criticisms
owing to the church’s collapsed building which
killed at least 115 people.
A South African journalist, Jacques Pauw had
alleged that Joshua’s miracles were not genuine.
In his report he had said, “I challenged the
pilgrims to provide me with medical proof that
they had been healed. None did.”
In a statement released through the church’s
official Facebook page, Joshua claimed that all
his miracles were performed before the church
audience and were broadcast live through the
SCOAN’s Emmanuel TV.
“Please note, all of The SCOAN services are
public and broadcast live on Emmanuel TV,” the
statement read in part.
The popular televangelist was reacting to a
media report concerning the authenticity of
miracles performed by the pastor.
But, Joshua claimed that the media report was
false. According to him, the names of the people
who alleged that the pastor performed fake
miracles are fabricated.
“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,” he said.
Joshua added, “It is our belief that these stories
were intended to divert people’s attention from
the evil that has been done.
Expressing his displeasure over the report, he
urged security operatives to investigate those
behind the report.
The SCOAN founder said, “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.”
The statement also urged the Synagogue church
adherents and supporters not to be misled by
the said report.
“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,” the
statement urged.
