Pastor Evelyn Joshua, the wife of the late TB Joshua, has dismissed the claim that the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) will be folding up following a BBC documentary

The Facebook post reads:
“‘The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations is, still existing, for the foundation of this church is not of man but of God,’ Pastor Evelyn Joshua says at The SCOAN branch in Akure, Ondo State. “We are a church, not a cult, for we preach Jesus Christ,” she tells the people.”

According to the BBC documentary, over two dozen of the church’s ex-members shared their accounts of alleged sexual assault, forced abortion, manipulation, and other abuses allegedly committed by Late Joshua during his lifetime.
But Dare Adejumo, the public affairs director of SCOAN, in a statement, said the BBC documentary was defamatory and that individuals that the medium had interviewed were not familiar with the church.
