BREAKING: Popular Televangelist, Prophet T.B. Joshua is dead

Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, a frontline Nigerian preacher and televangelist, has died. He was aged 57.

His death has just been confirmed by his friend Femi Fani-Kayode on his twitter handle who claimed he was earlier misled but just got confirmation from the same person that the man of God has passed on.

Mr Joshua, the founder of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), died in Lagos on Saturday evening shortly after concluding a programme at his church.

The cause of death has not been disclosed to but family sources said his remains had been deposited at the morgue and an autopsy would be performed forthwith.

Mr Joshua reigned for several decades as a fiery preacher on television, using his platform to attract a large number of Christians from across the world.

Emmanuel TV, run by Mr Joshua’s SCOAN, is one of Nigeria’s largest Christian broadcast stations, available worldwide via digital and terrestrial switches.
