It has been reported that the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Prophet TB Joshua died on Saturday after one of his evening services. According to reports, the clergyman had suffered a stroke just two months ago.

Speaking with journalists on Sunday, Evelyn said her husband had prayed for three hours before the last service on the mountain and that he showed no sign of illness.

Evelyn also took to social media to express her grief over the loss of her husband.

In a post on Twitter, she said: “Losing a loved one is never easy; whether sudden or foreseen. It is always heart-breaking. Grief can wreak havoc on our overall well-being. That’s why it’s important to stay rooted to the Almighty. Only He can lessen our heartache and comfort us in these times. Seek refuge in him.”

Akinola reportedly passed away in the early hours of Sunday, June 6, 2021.

He said: “Yes, it is a very sad day for the Christian community. While we were still talking of Prophet TB Joshua, Akinola’s death happened.

“It is so sad. I pray that God comforts the entire body of Christ because he (Akinola) labored so much for the body of Christ.”
