The religious TV network, Emmanuel TV, founded by the late SCOAN (Synagogue Church of All Nations) leader T.B. Joshua, is set to be discontinued from broadcast by Multichoice. This decision comes in the wake of a contentious documentary on the clergyman by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Multichoice has announced that the broadcast of Emmanuel TV will be discontinued from DStv on January 17, 2024. This follows a controversial BBC documentary that involved alleged victims claiming to have suffered molestation and torture at the late Prophet T.B. Joshua’s hands.
The broadcaster displayed a message saying, “Dear viewer, please note that Emmanuel TV will exit on the 17th of January 2024. Thank you for watching.” In addition, Emmanuel TV will also cease service on StarSat and various other pay-TV platforms.
The BBC documentary, a three-part series, accused the late T.B. Joshua of committing sexual crimes and atrocities against his disciples. As part of their investigation into the late cleric and his church, the BBC reportedly interviewed at least 30 purported former members and workers of the SCOAN.
