Synagogue Church collapse: T.B Joshua allegedly offered journalists N50,000 bribe to alter reports

Prophet Temitope B. Joshua, head of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Ikotun, Lagos, has been accused of offering bribe to reporters covering the collapse of his Church’s guest house.
The incident, which occurred September 19, left over 85 persons, mostly South Africans, dead.
A Nigerian journalist, Nicholas Ibekwe, who made the allegation on Saturday via social network, Twitter, also provided an audio proof to back up his claim.

In a series of tweets, he lambasted field staff of media houses, who collect money while on the job, saying such was against ethics of the profession.
“Nigerian journalists habitually collects money at press conferences and events. They call it ‘brown envelop’. I call it bribe!”, he tweeted.
“And for those asking for prove. I’ve audio proof of TB Joshua telling reporters he’s N50,000 each from them”.
The church management is yet to respond to the allegation.
