TB Joshua Secretly Sought Stroke Treatment in Turkey Despite Preaching Miraculous Healing, Hid Health Struggles from Followers – Sowore

 Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the late Prophet Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), sought medical treatment in Turkey for a stroke, despite publicly advocating for miraculous healings. ​

In a recent interview, Sowore claimed that TB Joshua traveled to Turkey for stroke treatment, a fact that was kept from the public. He stated, “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 suggested that Joshua’s secrecy about his health issues may have contributed to his death, as he delayed seeking timely medical intervention to maintain his public image as a healer. “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,” Sowore added. 

He also questioned why other religious figures, known for claiming to perform miracles, did not intervene in Joshua’s case. Sowore remarked, “I wondered, if TB Joshua had a stroke and this our brother in Port Harcourt 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.”

These revelations have sparked discussions about the practices of religious leaders who promote supernatural healing while privately seeking conventional medical treatments. Critics argue that such actions may undermine the trust of their followers and highlight the need for transparency regarding health matters.​
