• The official statement announcing the death of the televangelist was silent on what exactly killed him

• TB Joshua would have been 58 in exactly a week’s time

New information coming in from a Nigerian online newspaper, The Cable, says that the famed Nigerian televangelist, Temitope Balogun Joshua (TB Joshua), suffered a stroke two months ago, and was sent out of the country to undergo treatment.

News of the passing of the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) have taken over news headlines this Sunday after it was announced through his official Facebook page.

While the statement from TB Joshua‘s page was mute on exactly what led to his death at the age of 57, The Cable reports that Joshua was airlifted via an air ambulance from Nigeria to Turkey to receive treatment after the stroke.

TB Joshua would have been 58 in exactly a week, which he spoke of in a video, calling for people to mark the day with prayer, fasting and remembrance of the needy.
