He went on, "When this man was alive. He was sooo powerful that his criminal negligence, according to state coroner in Lagos led to the death of 84 people and he didn’t spend one second in police station and you want some young women to come and do what?! When Timis wife came out, you all turned a married woman to a prostitute like magic! That's why victims don’t speak up!! E du Betta, religious people!!"
Going further, he slammed people who defend the late prophet on the grounds that he helped them one way or another, stressing that the experience of some is not the experience of all people.
In his words, "I don’t care if he took your family to space, and he was good to u, u aren’t everybody! Na so because politician help one person he go wan prove to the world say the man na ‘good person!’ News flash- YOU ARE NOT EVERYBODY!!!"
TB-Joshua died in 2021.

The late prophet and his church have become the subject of controversy after a three part documentary produced by the BBC, highlighted the negative experiences of ex-Synagogue Church of all Nations members, who called the church “a cult". Some women also accused TB Joshua of rape, forced abortions, child abuse and overall abuse. These claims have become a topic of discourse ever since with some siding with the church and others choosing to believe the victims.
However, the church has denied all the allegations.
