T.B JOSHUA’S CHURCH BANNED FROM HOSTING REVIVALS IN GHANA

Spread the love

 The Greater
Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Christian Tettey Yehonu, has directed
authorities of the Synagogue Church of all Nations to quit hosting revivals at
their Spintex auditorium in Accra. Speaking to
Citi News, DCOP Yehonu noted that the stampede that occurred at the weekend
could have been avoided if the church had chosen a bigger venue to hold its
events.

Four people
died on Sunday as a result of a stampede at the Synagogue Church of all
Nations. The stampede occurred as people struggled to secure a position to
receive holy water blessed by the Presiding Prophet, T.B Joshua.

Mr Tettey
Yehonu indicated that, “the place was too small to manage a congregation of
this magnitude”, and suggested that the Accra Sports Stadium or the
independence square were more suitable alternatives to handle a crowd of that
magnitude.

Meanwhile,
officials of the Church who say this is the first time people have died in any
of their services worldwide, have told Citi News they did all in their power to
save the situation.

Reverend Sam
Mc-Canan is a Reverend at the Synagogue Church of all Nations in Accra said:
“The happening yesterday at Spintex is unprecedented, we are used to crowds and
huge numbers but not something like this. We are a crowd puller, but we are not
used to a number like this. This is a first of this kind, and we are very
devastated about it”.
“…We are going to do a thorough work to ensure this
does not repeat itself. Everything started orderly this morning, until 30 minutes
when we heard a stampede outside the office”.

“We went outside then saw some casualties lying
outside there, and others trampled over. We cancelled the meeting and called
the national ambulance to intervene”.
