YouTube has deleted the official channel of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) managed by late TV Joshua over alleged violation of politics.

This comes few weeks after the controversial documentary published by the BBC Africa Eye about sexual abuse, forced abortion and torture linked to the cleric.

In the documentary, some of his former associates accused TB Joshua of sexually and physically assaulting them while he was alive.

“The idea was to have so much humiliation filmed on tape that you are both aware of it,” said Ajoke, a former member of the church, in an interview with openDemocracy.

“You fear it so much and are constantly shamed by it. So much so that it’s like your voice has been shut down by it.”

This report sparked controversies across social media with user expressing mixed opinions.

Following the BBC’s investigation, Emmanuel TV which has over half a million subscribers and hundreds of views on YouTube was suspended on January 29.

However, YouTube cited violations of its hate speech policies.

Emmanuel TV is used to broadcast religious activities performed by the church.

The cleric died on June 5, 2021, at the age of 57. The SCOAN is now run by his wife Evelyn Joshua.
