How desperation took me to TB Joshua’s church – Jim Iyke

Actor Jim Iyke has claimed that desperation took him to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) founded by the late prophet TB Joshua.

The movie star said this interview with talk show host Teju Babyface shared via Instagram on Tuesday, where he insisted he was forced to take his sick mother to the prophet for healing.

“The only thing they could do was attack my personality, attack my integrity, I’ll never be desperate again in my life. Desperation was what took me there, to take my mother there, hoping that a man of God, quote and unquote would heal her. She lives here day and night, I still have conversations with her, she’s never left. When I’m done praying with God she is the next person, I know how many times my mum appeared to me in dreams, if she were to live twenty TB Joshuas will not stop her,” he said.

Speaking further, the 46-year-old said: “It was her time, nobody would have made me enter that space, he wasn’t the only one I went to, I have been to five or six men of God, is it because I don’t want to mention names?? How they drove me the money they took from me.”

A video of the actor purportedly undergoing deliverance at the church and confessing that an evil spirit was tormenting his life went viral in 2013 after his visit to Joshua.

During an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo in February 2022, Jim said he went to TB Joshua because of his mum’s illness and what transpired at SCOAN was not a publicity stunt.

Jim’s mother died on April 1, 2014.

Joshua died on June 5, 2021.
