The founder of Shiloh Word Chapel, Prophet Ikechukwu Samuel, has knocked the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) over the documentary released on late Prophet T.B. Joshua.
In a statement released on Thursday, Prophet Samuel stated that no one can rubbish the legacy of T.B Joshua, asserting that the late cleric was a man of honor.
He said: “Saint T.B Joshua was a man I knew so well, he was and still my mentor even in death. We saw the documentary coming but unknown to them, they can not tarnish the image of the apple of God’s eyes.
“BBC did a horrible job and they can never tarnish the image and the work of this great man of God.”
Prophet Ikechukwu further queried the essence of the documentary released by BBC.
He said: “What is the motive behind this documentary against a man who has passed away? To whom did the accusers report the alleged incidents when they occurred?
“Pastor Evelyn Joshua, T.B. Joshua’s wife, that I know will never know of all those alleged crimes and keep quiet. I am confident those allegations were lies.
“If those involved were unhappy, why did they travel worldwide with T.B. Joshua and stay until they were deported?
“Does the BBC have clear evidence from its interviewees? Was the BBC not the first to document T.B. Joshua’s miracles years ago during the HIV/cancer era?
“Did the BBC conduct a formal investigation by visiting SCOAN before broadcasting the documentary?”
Prophet Samuel, however, urged fellow believers not to lose faith in Christ and the legacy of T.B. Joshua.
He called on all wise men and prophets in a similar grace to rise and defend not just T.B Joshua but Christianity at large.
Prophet Samuel also called on other clerics attacking T.B Joshua to desist from such act and continue to preach love as Jesus did.
In conclusion, the Abuja-base cleric urged T.B Joshua’s wife not to get carried away by traducers. He prayed that God grants her the grace to continue the ministry and legacy of late Prophet T.B Joshua.
