How TB Joshua's Remains Arrived SCOAN For Lying-in-State

The body of the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nation (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua arrived the church today for lying-in-state service.

Dressed in white, the remains was lifted inside the church in a transparent casket by a hearse that drove into SCOAN at about 11:00 am.

The body was welcomed by a mammoth crowd that had waited inside and outside the church premises to bid the late televangelist farewell.

Late T.B Joshua’s wife, Evelyn; son-in-law, Bryan, and his daughters Serah, Promise, Hart were present at the lying-in-state service.

Aside the lying-in-state service, which is part of the weeklong funeral in honour of the late Prophet, a candlelight procession was held on Monday.

On Tuesday, thousands of sympathisers joined Late Joshua’s family at the church during the tribute service.

Other activities include interment on Friday and a thanksgiving service on Sunday.

The popular televangelist died on June 5 , barely seven days to his 58th birthday.

Born on June 12, 1963, his last appearance was on 5th June, 2021 during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting with the theme, “Time for everything – time to come here for prayer and time to return home after the service.”

A statement by the church revealed that God took his servant, Joshua home by divine will, adding that his last moments were spent in the service of God.

EFCC: You Do Not Change A Winning Team

By Iliyasu Gashinbaki Iliyasu Gashinbaki I have read the letter from the former President, Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, addressed to the Chairmen of the Constitution Review Committee of both chambers of the National Assembly- Deputy Senate President and Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives. I was looking for his prayers to the esteemed lawmakers on clear and unambiguous anomalies he observed in the Establishment Act of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that need legislative action in the review exercise.
