T.B. Joshua the founder of the The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) has been banned and blacklisted by the Cameroonian government over claims of being an agent of the devil.
TB Joshua who is renowned for his prophecies and predictions has
overtime gathered a large following in Nigeria and across Africa
including the current heads of state of Ghana and Malawi.
The Cameroonian government has blacklisted Prophet Temitope Balogun
Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, saying that he is an
agent of satan hoodwinking unsuspecting members of the public with
“diabolical miracles”.
Cameroon Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr. Henri Eyebe Ayissi, in an
official communiqué he issued titled: “The Devil Is In the House”,
described T.B. Joshua as a “son of the devil” pretending to be “a man of
God.”
The minister warned hundreds of Cameroonians, trooping to Lagos,
South West Nigeria, for miracles in Joshua’s church, to desist from
taking the trip or face the consequences, as the country will not stand
by them.

The communiqué written in French read in part: “The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs warns those who by naivety or deception of Emmanuel TV’s
captivating images, or even those who by hopelessness, envisage taking
the pilgrimage to Pastor T.B. Joshua’s Synagogue Church Of All Nations
in Lagos, that they will do so at their own risk.
“The Cameroonian Government warns these pilgrims that they will face
the consequences alone. This is motivated by the painful and shameful
fact that Cameroonian men and women, in search of deliverance and
blessings, once in that church, find themselves in bestial and pitiable
conditions.
“Women are defiled; pilgrims dispossessed of their belongings by
armed robbers and left to sleep on the streets at the mercy of gangs.
Many cases of assassinations have even been recorded. And this is
without other cases that are not recorded at the Cameroonian Embassy in
Lagos with the victims too ashamed to narrate their infernal odysseys
once they are out of Hell,” the minister said.
The minister said that while the bible asks us to be discreet with
gifts and donations to the poor, T.B. Joshua is seen daily dolling out
bags of rice to indigent people.
It was learnt that hundreds of Cameroonians who sold their properties
or borrowed money in the hope of getting miracles in T.B. Joshua’s
Church, only got disappointed in Lagos.
It was also reported that Prophet TB Joshua’s TV station has gained
popularity in Cameroon and many people are tempted to take the trip and
receive healings and sudden blessings. It says that Joshua is now in
many households in Cameroon and many people believe the flashy images
they watch on television.
