In a video that has now gone viral, Owusu told his
congregation that he had the detail of the circumstances surrounding Joshua’s
death but would not reveal it yet. He, nonetheless, hinted that a combination
of local and international conspiracy led to the extermination of the
clergyman. Following up on the claim, however, notable pressure group in Ondo
State, the Sunshine Liberation Movement (SLM), has demanded that the world’s
human rights community should help engage the services of private
investigators, to unearth the veracity or otherwise of Owusu’s claim.
President of the SLM, Elder Dipo Ajidaun, said, “The way to
go is to get an independent body to find out why, among other things, T.B
Joshua, who was healthy and had no known record of any ailment, suddenly left
for his office and was later found lifeless. Again, we should know the
identities, country of origin and any other mission of some foreigners who were
said to have visited him on the fateful day, shortly before his death.”
He stressed that both a coroner’s inquest and other
investigational methods devoid of the involvement of politicians and the
clergy, would lead all to the true circumstances of Joshua’s death. He also
urged that under the present circumstance, T.B Joshua’s autopsy should be made
public, “to save it from being doctored”.
A prominent women leader from the Akoko community of Ondo
State, where Joshua hailed from, Chief (Mrs.) Kemi Kofoworola, said the
contrition that led the Joshua immediately family not to bury the late cleric
in his Arigidi-Akoko native home, is now fatal to any attempt to find out if he
was actually killed. Kofoworola, the Yeyelobinrin (head of the women) in
Arigidi-Akoko’s neighbourhood of Oba-Akoko, said, “If they had brought his
corpse to be buried in his native home, some traditional rite would have been
performed on his remains, which would expose any conspiracy, if it existed,
without fail.
Ghana’s Bishop Owusu, had while appraising the June 5
passage of Joshua during his sermon over the weekend, said the cleric was the
most famous Christian minister in the history of black Africa, claiming that Joshua was more popular than American
preachers such as T.D Jakes and Kenneth Hagin.
In the video of the sermon that has now gone viral, Owusu
said, “T. B. Joshua was killed, he didn’t die. He was killed because, by
history, there is no black man of God in the world that on YouTube, his followers
are more than a country. Yes, the followers of T. B. Joshua, there is no
president in the world, no President in the world has followers as compared to
T. B. Joshua. In the world, there is no single man that Presidents submit to.
In the whole world, it has never happened, that there is a certain man of God
that Presidents will leave their Presidency and come to his church. T. B.
Joshua was killed, he has finished his work. I have the detail, I will not
share that one now”.
“T. B. Joshua was the highest rewarded by YouTube currency
in the whole world; there is no human being that gets paid by YouTube as much
as T. B. Joshua because of how people follow and watch his videos. They killed
T. B. Joshua because, in the history of the black race, there is no black man
that is popular as compared to T. B. Joshua. He is popular than T. D. Jakes, he
was more accepted than Kenneth Hagin, he is popular and more accepted than
Bishop David Oyedepo. By the history of mankind, there is no black man in
Africa who has properties, a school in Israel, a school, land and property in
the Philippines… there is no black man…T. B. Joshua didn’t die, they calculated
his death. What they used to kill him, I know and the person they sent, I saw”.
