How followers of TB Joshua’s megachurch are attempting to silence his victims
A hate campaign is spreading across social media targeting victims and accusers of TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), who had come forward with allegations of sexual, physical abuse, fake miracles, in a three-part documentary released in January by BBC Africa, in partnership with openDemocracy.
The abusive content published across YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok violates these social media platforms’ terms on trolling, harassment, cyberbullying, promotion of hateful ideologies, and more.
These fan accounts have been distributing old videos, made under duress, showing some of the women who came forward in the BBC documentary, as possessed and mentally unstable. The intention behind sharing these clips appears to have been to discredit the survivors, paint them in a bad light, and create doubt on the integrity of their claims.
