Family announces TB Joshua’s burial for July 9 on premises of Synagogue Church

Indications have emerged that the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua, may be buried on the premises of his Church in Ikotun, Lagos State, contrary to the desire of the monarch of Arigidi-Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun, to have him buried in the town. Joshua hailed from Arigidi- Akoko

July 9, 2021 has been reportedly chosen as the date of burial.

A member of the family was reported to have said, on Sunday, that the date was fixed after the immediate and extended members of the family of TB Joshua met at the residence of the deceased in Lagos State on Friday.

The traditional ruler and chiefs of Arigidi Akoko believed that burying Joshua in the town would accord it a global recognition.

Arigidi Akoko would become a tourist place of sorts as the deceased’s followers all over the world would want to visit it to see his tomb and would also make the church to continue the project already embarked upon by the late founder.

But the family member said the wife, Evelyn, and the children of the late prophet prevailed on the other family members over the burial place and date at the meeting.

The burial plans, according to sundry media reports, would take place between July 5 and July 9, 2021.

The wife and children of the late Joshua reportedly insisted on the place and date of burial and were able to convince others at the extended family meeting.

Meanwhile, SCOAN did not hold any of its three services on Sunday as the church remained shut.
