“How I Went Into Hiding For Eight Years”, TB Joshua’s Ex-Disciple (pic)
A former disciple of the Late Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, popularly known as TB Joshua, Paul Agomoh, has disclosed that he had to go into hiding for nearly eight years, after his initial attempt to expose the activities of the late presiding Pastor of the Synagogue Church of All Nations.
Agomoh disclosed this to journalists, following a screening of a 150-minute-long investigative report carried out by the BBC Africa Eye, titled “Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua,” which featured testimonies from former disciples and church workers, accusing the late prophet of manipulation and physical abuse, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja, on Monday evening.
While stating that he was the first Prophet under the SCOAN, Agomoh said he was pursued around across Cotonou, Lagos and Ghana, by loyalists of Prophet TB Joshua who believed that his revelations were blasphemy against the prophet.
“I was the first prophet of the Synagogue church, and I spent more than a decade in the Synagogue between 1995 and 2006. And I just want to thank the BBC. This is a journey I started in 2009. I released a video with Sister Bisola, ‘The Deception of the Age’. When I left there, the incident that led to my leaving is not a story I can finish here. It is a terrible experience. I decided to leave. When I left, I could not sleep, I could not rest. The burden was so much on me. I had to move out with the help of some pastors in ministry, and my friends.
“We brought this out, but a lot of people said ‘Agomoh has come, he is blaspheming against our man of God’. They started chasing me everywhere. For a good eight years, I laid low, not doing any ministerial job, not doing any public jobs. I laid low, just with the help of a few pastors. About three years ago, was when I started coming out gradually. I was pursued everywhere, from here to Cotonou, you know these are the nearest places you can run to, from Cotonou to Ghana, back to Lagos, I was running,” he said.
