Meanwhile, the founder of the Christ Apostolic Church of Christ, Agbala Itura worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, has revealed why people hated the late founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua.

The cleric noted that people hated the founder of SCOAN because he followed the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

Prophet Abiara, while speaking at the thanking service in honour of TB Joshua, on Sunday, insisted that the televangelist was a man of God.

He described the deceased as a pride to the body of Christ in Nigeria and around the globe.
