Mr Joshua reigned for several
decades as a fiery preacher on
television, using his platform to
attract a large number of
Christians from across the
world. Emmanuel TV, run by
Mr Joshua’s SCOAN, is one of
Nigeria’s largest Christian
broadcast stations, available
worldwide via digital and
terrestrial switches.
In 2014, his church was at the
centre of a multi-national
investigation following a
section of his church
headquarters in Lagos
collapsed, leaving dozens killed
and many more injured.
Mr Joshua denied allegations of
negligence and a trial over the
incident was still underway
prior to his demise.
