Episode 1 of Prophet TB Joshua BBC Documentary Video has emerged.

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that a former female disciple of Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua, better known as TB Joshua has narrated how she was allegedly raped by the cleric when she was still underage.

This Nigeria news platform recalls that Prophet TB Joshua died on June 5, 2021. As part of its investigation, the BBC interviewed at least 30 former members and workers of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). The first installment of the documentary was released on Monday.

The woman who was featured in the investigative documentary alleged that the late TB Joshua first had unlawful carnal knowledge of her when she was 17 years old and kept doing so till the time she left his synagogue.

“He was telling me that, you know, I’m your father and I’m delivering you. We went into his room and I stood there and he said off your clothes. So I removed my clothes and then he just pointed. So I lied down and then he raped me. 

“He broke my virginity. I was screaming and he was whispering my ear. That should stop. Stop acting like a baby. Better shut up. You want to make noise. You want people to hear? I felt like there was a beast. Like this beast? I was 17 years old. I was underage,” the woman from the BBC documentary said.

She continued: “He grabbed me and he held me very close to him and he, he literally then pushed me down to the bed and he got on me. I was still so shocked. I was still bleeding to his pit on the floor and he held my hands and he looked straight into my eyes and said, ‘I can see you are my child now. Don’t betray me’.

“If any of us got pregnant, he said you cannot betray the men of God. We have to do something about it. Women that he rapes, he forces them into abortion. I never had a choice whether I could keep a potential child or not. I felt like I didn’t own my body.”

A disciple of TB Joshua who claimed to have spent 14 years in the synagogue,  while explaining the late pastor’s motive behind the repeated molestation of women and young ladies, claimed he was doing so to strengthen his spiritual power.

The woman said, “He was a sexual predator. He was a ritualist. Joshua asked me to find virgins for him to bring young girls into the disciple fold.

“In the midnight, this person will be called into his bedroom so that he could ‘disvirgin’ (deflower) them. When those girls come out, he usually takes all the bed sheets and everything. You pack them and take them to the prayer mountain.”

The woman further said that the pastor compelled other ladies and women who were victims of his rape to have abortions if they became pregnant in the process.

She said, “I witness a lot of abortions. Lots of abortions. It can’t be counted. They started doing it inside the synagogue. There’s a place they called the Medical Department. We went out through the back door of his office. We went downstairs.

“There’s an area that visitors would never see. You’re given a concussion to drink. You get sick. Or they put these metal pieces in your vagina and they extract whatever and you don’t know whether they pulling out your womb or something’s going wrong.”

“He’s somebody used to painting a picture that he loves children. But behind closed doors, it’s a nightmare. I had three abortions at Synagogue. And from speaking to other women, I’m not the only one,” another victim said.
