A documentary released by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Prophet TB Joshua is still gaining reactions.
Now, American social media platform, YouTube has pulled down the main channel of the Synagogue Church of All Nation (SCOAN) from its platform.
This development is coming amidst sexual and assault allegations levelled against the deceased pioneer of the church, TB Joshua.
Emmanuel TV is used to broadcast the religious activities performed by the church.
Joshua, who passed away on June 5, 2021, became the subject of a historic investigation by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

The documentary exposed the late preacher and his church.
