Leadership crisis has hit the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), just weeks after its founder, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, was buried.
It was gathered that some local disciples of the philanthropist preacher have been evicted from the church premises by Evelyn, wife of the philanthropist preacher, otherwise as Prophet TB Joshua.
Those who disrespected her in the past were asked to vacate the church.
Sources see the move as part of Evelyn Joshua’s move to assume leadership of the church.

“These disciples asked to leave were those who disrespected Evelyn while her husband was alive.
“They sidelined her, It’s a powerful tussle,” the source said.
TB Joshua died on June 5, 2021, after a church service and was buried few weeks after within the church premises in Lagos State.
Meanwhile, Justice Tijjani Ringim of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday ratified the appointment of Mrs Evelyn Joshua, as a trustee of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).
A statement by the church noted that the appointment is in line with the church’s constitution which prescribed a minimum of three trustees for the church.
The statement noted that the action was sequel to “a petition brought by concerned and committed members of the church, represented by Mr. Kola Kareem and Mrs Moji Oguntoyinbo, against the Incorporated Trustees of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, the Corporate Affairs Commission, and Mrs. Evelyn Onyisi Joshua in a Suit No: FHC/L/CP/1109/2021.

“The petitioners were represented by Emeka Ekweozor, Chris Eme and E. G. Onyejekwulum.
“Ossazu Owie represented first and second respondents, while O. N. Chukwu appeared for the CAC.
“The respondents through their counsel told the court they were not opposed to the petition made under Section 839(6)(B) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 (as Amended).”
The statement added that the church “has been in a limbo since the passing of the man of God, Senior Prophet TB Joshua over the leadership succession in the church.”
