The Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, is probing some disciples and workers of the church following the discovery of financial misappropriation after the death of the church’s founder, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, aka T.B. Joshua.

The Head of SCOAN’s Legal Department, James Akhigbe, who disclosed this in a statement said the audit followed the appointment of Mrs Evelyn Joshua, wife of the late T.B Joshua as a member of the church’s Board of Trustees, BoT.

Akhigbe said the affected workers are not being victimized in the ongoing process. stating that the ongoing audit of disciples and workers of SCOAN is being carried out objectively under a regular and absolutely normal environment without any harassment.

“We stand in the light and we cannot compromise the ideal and legacy of our mentor and founder, late Senior Prophet TB Joshua on integrity, spiritual worship, unconditional love and humanitarianism.

“The public would recall that on the 9th of September, 2021, the Board Of Trustees BOT of the SCOAN appointed Mrs. Evelyn TB Joshua as its Chairperson.

“This followed an order of the Federal High Court in Suit No. FHC/L/CP/1109/2021 which appointed Mrs. Evelyn T.B Joshua as a Trustee. The BOT had also appointed Mrs. TB Joshua as the new leader of the church with ratification by over two thousand strong jubilant congregations of the Church at a meeting on Thursday afternoon,” the statement read.

“Following this, and in view of the discovery of huge cases of financial misappropriation perpetrated in the past few months, reckless individualism and unimaginable acts grossly antipodal to the Sanctuary with the passing of the founder, the church leadership took steps to secure certain critical assets of the Church with an authorization for a comprehensive audit of the activities of the Church since the call to glory of our Founder and General Overseer in the interest of the global church members and future of the Church.

“This exercise involved some category of church workers including Disciples and it is being carried out objectively under a regular and absolutely normal environment without any harassment whatsoever to any person or group of persons, contrary to the disingenuous narrative now being peddled by mischief makers.”
