The controversial Nigerian televangelist, Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua has died at the age of 57.
He was the leader of Nigeria-based The Synagogue Church of All Nations.
Many wealthy and notable Africans have sought Joshua’s “healing miracles”. They include the late Zimbabwean politician Morgan Tsvangirai, Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, Malawian president Binguwa Mutharika, and the late African National Congress (ANC) leader, Winnie Mandela.
TB Joshua had more than 3.5 million followers on Facebook.
Joshua held particularly unscientific and problematic views on disease in general, and COVID-19, claiming to be able to heal persons from the disease.
In 2014, his church building collapsed killing 116 people.
