Veteran Afrobeats singer, rapper and songwriter, Eedris Turayo Abdulkareem Ajenifuja, better known as Eedris Abdulkareem has blasted the British Broadcasting Corporation (BCC), over its latest documentary on the late Nigerian televangelist, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, aka TB Joshua,.
TheNiche had earlier reported that the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), a 12-storey building, situated in the Ikotun area of Lagos State, where he and his wife lived alongside many of his followers was accused of several atrocities, including rape.
In the now-viral documentary released on Monday, January 8, no fewer than 25 eyewitnesses accused T.B Joshua of sexual assault, physical abuse, fabricated miracles and trauma.

Reacting to the trending video on his Instagram page on Tuesday evening, Eedris Abdulkareem stated that the BBC lacked the moral justification to condemn any African man until it has released a documentary detailing the atrocities allegedly committed by Britain in Africa.
Speaking via his social media page, the singer wrote: “Until BBC releases a documentary on the atrocities committed by Britain on Africa soil, only then will they have the moral justification to condemn any African man.”
Meanwhile, SCOAN on Tuesday, countered the BBC’s documentary on its late founder describing it as a piece of junk.
The church in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said its reply was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report.
SCOAN also described the documentary as unfounded, noting that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church.
