Mother Sonny from South Africa, whose daughter was killed in the Synagogue Church guest house collapse, told how the late Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua allegedly threatened to wipe out her family if she didn’t keep quiet.
Remember that in September 2014, in Lagos, a guest house inside the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) collapsed, killing at least 115 attendees, including 84 South Africans.
Mrs. Sonny revealed the information in a now-viral three-part BBC investigation. Mrs. Sonny expressed her sorrow at her daughter’s death in a location she believed would be safe for her.
Synagogue Church Reveals TB Joshua’s Last Words Before He Died
Presenting her daughter’s photos, the distraught mother, Mrs. Sonny, bemoaned the fact that her daughter, Sibingile Princess, was attending the synagogue for the first time, as she had been anticipating going like all the people she had seen on TV.
She said: “She still had her teddy bears in her room and told her siblings to make sure they take care of them. She was this perfectionist.
“You see the miracles every day on television and you will be like, this can only be the hand of God.”
Mrs Sonny said while her daughter was in Lagos, “I tried to call my daughter, tried to send an SMS but there was no response. That was when I could not breathe.”
She bemoaned the fact that the church had told them to wait and pray instead of providing her with the information she had requested.

She said: “No phone call from Synagogue. I couldn’t sleep. You know, you are waiting for the next day. You are waiting for the phone call. It was Sunday afternoon, and TB Joshua came. It was a live service.
“On television, they were showing us that the building was bombed. They were showing us aircraft. I heard from SCOAN after five days and they said, ‘We are afraid your daughter did not make it.’
“My daughter died in a place where I thought it safe. Because the Bible said, ‘Bring your child in the way of the Lord. I made sure that they were always at church. I did not know I was taking them to church to be killed.
“That is not what I was expecting. That part, I was not expecting.”
Sonny said that TB Joshua’s representatives came to her with money, saying it was a gift, but “When we refused to take the money, he started threatening us. He said, ‘Your daughter won’t be happy if you don’t take the money’.

“He sent me these messages where he said, ‘If you focus on what you have lost, you might lose everything’. He threatened me that my whole family would go down the same way my daughter went down.”
According to a former church member who appeared in the video, she was phoned while she was in South Africa and told to help visit the families whose husbands, wives, or children had perished in the church collapse tragedy and give them cash bags.
The former disciple said, “It was scripted, your relatives that have passed on are more privileged than you because they died in the house of the Lord. But we gave families cash, no transfer.
“We would tell them, ‘You must not speak to the media. You must say anything. Basically, we were silencing them.”
