TB Joshua Secretly Sought Stroke Treatment In Turkey Despite Preaching Miraculous Healing, Hid Health Struggles From Followers –Sowore
Speaking during an exclusive interview on the KaaTruths programme, Sowore claimed that Joshua sought medical treatment in Turkey but concealed the information from the public.
Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that the late TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), secretly travelled to Turkey for stroke treatment despite publicly promoting miraculous healings.
Speaking during an exclusive interview on the KaaTruths programme, Sowore claimed that Joshua sought medical treatment in Turkey but concealed the information from the public.
“TB Joshua, when he had a stroke, didn’t even go to a Christian country. He went to Turkey. He spent time in Turkey treating his stroke. He was flown there by his private jet,” Sowore stated.
According to him, Joshua’s secrecy about his health issues contributed to his death.
“But many people never heard that TB Joshua was treated in Turkey when he had a stroke,” he said.
“Part of what I heard killed him is that he was hiding his sickness, and when he was supposed to go for the treatment, he didn’t want the public to know that he had a stroke. It was never made public.”
He questioned why other religious figures known for claiming to perform miracles did not intervene in Joshua’s case.
“I wondered, if TB Joshua had a stroke and this our brother in Port Harcourt (Prophet Umueke Miracle of Dynamic Flame of Fire and Miracle Ministries) has the ability to cure stroke, TB Joshua could have been one of the people he could have used. He shouldn’t have allowed a brother-man of God to die of stroke. That is unfair,” he said.
“TB Joshua died of stroke and we have a stroke magician in Port Harcourt. He could have just flown to Lagos, placed his hand on TB Joshua, and we would have TB Joshua with us today.”
Sowore further accused high-profile religious leaders, particularly general overseers (GOs), of deceiving their followers by promoting supernatural healing while secretly accessing top-tier medical care.
“There is none of these GOs, high-level evangelists, or pastors who mess with their health. They don’t play with their health. They use some of the best medical doctors all over the world to heal themselves,” Sowore said.
He alleged that these religious leaders not only undergo medical treatments but also engage in cosmetic procedures, including plastic surgeries and hair transplants, while misleading their followers with claims of divine healing.
“They do all kinds of plastic surgery. Why do they deceive the masses that they can carry out what they know is scientifically impossible?” he questioned.
Sowore criticised the reliance on religious solutions for health and social issues, stressing the need for functional healthcare systems.
“I want a country where we have hospitals that function such that even some of the pastors who can’t see well can get someone who knows how to treat their eyes very well and get the best treatment so that they won’t need to hide when they are undergoing treatment,” he added.
