However, some disciples in the church rejected her leadership, claiming she was not a pastor and her late husband did not want her as a successor.
On the other hand, the church's new leadership accused the disciples of fraud.
In a report by The Punch, Pastor TB Joshua’s daughter, Promise, said the atrocities committed by the disciples, including a member of the Board of Trustees named Joseph David, has been exposed.
