-
Could you tell me a little bit
-
about the fear about speaking out?
-
It was so hard to come out because when I
-
Jesus, come on, help me.
-
I can't anymore.
-
You find yourself doing prostitution
You find yourself fornicating.
-
You find yourself doing every evil thing.
-
He created narratives about all of us.
Well, you know this come.
-
They've got a problem with men.
Promiscuous.
-
Take them.
Lever.
-
Lever.
Lever them.
-
In the church, her lot must be delivered.
-
Out.
-
I was a virgin, so I didn't understand
what this last, last thing was all about.
-
It was the worst decision
I've ever made going there.
-
I will never experience fear like it ever.
-
Everybody wanted to know how he got his
power, but the story was just like...
-
Vapour.
-
There's a wish doctor here.
-
You are not a pastor,
but you call yourself pastor.
-
You use evil power.
-
The world needs to be awakened
to the truth of who TB Joshua was.
-
My dad, he had fear He
had fear, constant fear.
-
He was very afraid that
someone would speak up.
-
Turn around and make him answer
to those things that he had done.
-
Come on.
-
Tb Joshua told me, personally,
every 2,000 years, God sends a saviour.
-
Christ is over.
-
That he is the next Listen in line now.
-
This one thing has been
damned by God Almighty.
-
I used to watch a really big American
evangelical television station.
-
He'd laugh, and he used
to tear them apart.
-
But he actually just really
wanted what they'd got.
-
He realised that this teleevangelism
was a way to reach the world.
-
Isn't that just amazing?
Look at that.
-
Okay, but now listen to me.
-
In a huge office.
-
Everything big, got little.
-
Disciples had to help set up
this thing called Emmanuel TV.
-
This
24 hour a day broadcast about Tibu Joshua,
-
who is unlike any other
pastor in the world.
-
Just by him walking into a building, these
-
evil spirits would start shaking about.
-
He is so powerful,
more powerful than Satan himself.
-
You devil, you devil, you devil.
-
Bring them out.
-
Bring them out.
-
When Emmanuel TV came out
in 2006, that was huge.
-
Millions of people tuned
in all over the world.
-
My name is Chloe.
-
You're welcome to the Arena
of Liberty in Jesus' name.
-
The live service had probably
50,000 people attend.
-
We thought that this was the thing
that would change the world.
-
Some people ended up stopping going
-
to their own churches that sit
home and watch Emmanuel TV.
-
Everybody wanted the privilege to go with,
to meet this big giant called TB Joshua.
-
I was 17 years old when I went
to the Synagogue Church of All Nations.
-
It was Emmanuel TV that hooked me in.
-
It felt I felt like,
I finally found my purpose in life.
-
The whole compound revolved around T.
B.
-
Joshua.
-
He is second in command to God.
-
We live in that environment
-
that everybody try to outdo one another
-
to make him happy.
T.
-
Joshua's room or apartment was right at
the top at the end of the church building.
-
B.
-
He doesn't have his own house
where he stays with his family.
-
No.
-
His wife was on a completely
different floor.
-
He lived there completely by himself.
-
We used to refer to it as Five Story
because it was the fifth floor.
-
It was very lavish
presidential set of rooms.
-
Daddy, as we used to call him,
he had young Nigerian boys that would run
-
around for him up in his
five-story bedroom.
-
They'd get anything he wanted.
-
They'd do his hair,
they'd wash his underpants.
-
We were called Five Story Brothers.
-
That is young guys like me that has
the opportunity to serve the prophet,
-
just literally serve him just
the way the maid serves the king.
-
People compare his Five Story Brothers be
-
his personal slave because
everything he needs, you must be there.
-
All is in my mind is, where is he now?
-
Has he eaten?
-
Has he taken his bath?
-
Is he showered already?
-
You have to be there in his privacy.
-
If I can use the word, even to the nudity,
you see everything.
-
When team Erosion needs to go
-
to the toilet,
two of us has to be there in the toilet.
-
He would remove his underwear
to his knee level.
-
Then we're pulling it down.
-
We don't allow him to bend down.
-
There was a lot of strange things
behind closed doors.
-
His underwears, his underwears.
-
You know he wears white?
-
Most times, he pours this honey.
-
He will pour it inside his pant,
inside his underwear.
-
He will pour it there.
-
When he pours those on there,
he rears the underwear.
-
And I was like, What's
the significance of this?
-
Why is he doing this?
-
There's a wish doctor here.
-
And her name is El Khartou Wizard.
Abalist.
-
I am the ultimate.
-
People were constantly suddenly
coming for deliverings for witchcraft.
-
What were you asked Abalist to do for you?
-
You went there and Abalist may
give you money to rob your private.
-
A true man of God.
-
All started when my mother and my father
-
die, then when they took
her to wish daughter.
-
I worship an idol.
-
What is this, your mommy water?
-
After those people had delivered,
they would stay at the prayer mountain.
-
They would lodge there
at the prayer mountain.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Now, today, we start the synagogue here.
-
Amen.
-
This is the prayer mountain,
-
the original site of the
Synagogue Church of All Nations.
-
Prayer mountain is a place full of water
that Timbi Joshua drens.
-
He has different islands on the lake
-
there, and each of them has different
prayer huts, prayer houses, small huts.
-
I don't think there's any
week that he doesn't go there.
-
That's where he stays.
-
He stays and does most of his work.
-
People think the prayer mountain is where
-
to go and pray, but there is more to that.
-
There is more to that.
-
The 16 years I spent there,
-
we are the prayer warrior,
which is the powerhouse of the ministry.
-
I'm able to be the leader.
-
It will give you different assignments.
-
There was one day, Titi Joshua
came to the mountain.
-
They caught one fish alive, very big.
-
So in my present, Tigo Joshua caught
-
his bear, caught part of the hair,
his private part.
-
He pulled those things
in the mouth of that fish.
-
He was to take it back
to the river and drop it.
-
That was how they start multiplying.
-
When they lay eggs,
they lay thousands of eggs.
-
It's secretive.
-
If we are talking about spiritual power,
either it's Satan or it's God.
-
Lose me love from all
relationships of the flesh.
-
Sexual immorality was a common thing
that he would always talk about.
-
You have flattening spirits.
Just man of God.
-
This spirit is like dog.
-
You are the one looking for men for sex.
-
It's true, man of God.
-
We were all supposed to be celibate.
-
We were taught that everything
sexual was bad.
-
It was sinful.
It was wrong.
-
In Emmanuel, we have something
to be excited about today.
-
Why are you...
-
A spirit of...
A what?
-
A what?
-
I believe that by my nature, I was unholy.
-
I was gay, and that I didn't want to be.
-
I had this huge battle going on in my
head, and I thought he could help me.
-
I see you as a high Lord.
-
He always painted and shamed women
-
for being high Lord
and having the spirit of last.
-
In the church,
high Lord must be delivered.
-
Every woman had lust.
-
Every female was struggling
from the spirit of lust.
-
That spirit of immorality, out.
-
He created narratives about all of us.
-
Oh, this one's come.
-
They've got a problem with men.
-
Promiscuous.
-
He would tell me,
Look at the way you are looking.
-
You are not even concentrating.
-
You are not doing this.
-
It's a spirit of lust.
-
You want to masturbate
Every time you are alone.
-
And I want to help you.
-
I can help you.
-
There is a lady, you are a prostitute.
-
It has become a professional
job for you, prostitute.
-
He got me to write down that I am
a prostitute from Namibia 400 times.
-
And then I signed on camera that it is
-
me, Jessica, signing,
I'm a prostitute from Namibia 400 times.
-
It is hodge.
Hodge.
-
Hodge.
Yes.
-
No man can satisfy you.
It's true, men of God.
-
It's true, men of God.
-
The repetition, lust in the morning,
afternoon, evening.
-
You were sleeping because lust,
anything you do, lust.
-
I started believing that maybe
Maybe I have it.
-
I was a virgin, so I didn't understand
what this last, last thing was all about.
-
We had this weird culture of we had
-
to phone him before we went to bed,
and there were phones all over the church,
-
and it was considered really,
really not cool.
-
It was a ritualistic thing,
like morning prayers or evening prayers.
-
Good night, good night, Daddy.
-
Good night, sir.
-
You had to do it.
-
You'd phone his bedroom on the intercom,
-
and it would ring, and ring, and ring,
and ring, and ring, and ring.
-
I'd be like, Hello, Daddy.
-
It's Rachel.
Good night, sir.
-
He'd be like, Okay, good night.
-
And he just put the phone down.
-
Just like, no interest.
-
My friends used to call them,
-
and they used to go up to his room
with their Bible and their notebook.
-
They'd go up and they'd come down,
they'd go up, they'd come down.
-
And I often used to think to myself,
Why doesn't he call me?
-
I need to try harder.
-
There is no way you will know
-
who Thibault Joshua is if
you don't live with him.
-
We happen to sleep in his bathroom.
-
We had to sleep on the floor.
-
The little space there
where we have his towels being hanged,
-
that's where we lie
on the floor on bare tiles.
-
At a particular time in the middle
-
of the night, he just asked us
to go to our room to go sleep.
-
He would put us in the room next door.
-
He would lock the door.
-
Next thing we hear from inside the room is
he turns on the TV set aloud.
-
Very, very loud.
-
Luce me love from all
relationships of the place.
-
I was curious Why?
-
Why is Daddy locking us outside?
-
I was curious.
-
So I had to peep under this door.
-
When I peeped under the door,
I saw a certain lady's foot there.
-
She knelt down close to the long chair.
-
Then I realised that something
was happening there.
-
Some activities was going on.
-
It's as if something
sexual was happening here.
-
I knew that the wife was not around.
-
His wife doesn't have access to his room.
-
He made us believe that his wife
is always sent to tempt him.
-
A lot of thoughts were
going through my mind.
-
It was like that he's trying
to cover up something.
-
I'd be climbing on my bunker bed,
exhausted Absolutely exhausted.
-
And you'd get a tap.
That is calling you.
-
That is calling you.
-
Oh, I want you to come up.
-
I want you to come and see me.
-
One night, they phoned and he was like,
You know, you did so well today.
-
He said, Okay, come up, bring your Bible,
-
and let us look at your
Bible notes with you.
-
This is early hours
of the morning, 3, 4, 5.
-
You were so knackered.
-
This is on 2 hours of sleep
from the night before.
-
The room It was like a sanctuary.
-
Carpet was so soft, really thick carpet.
-
It was luxurious.
-
A big bellowing curtains.
-
He got his shirt off and his shorts on.
-
Sitting down on his chaise long, he said,
Okay, can I read some of my notes?
-
He'd beckon me over and I would
kneel beside the chais longe.
-
He was like, How am I?
And how's things?
-
And he loves me very much, and
how God's going to superuse me.
-
You're so good at preaching.
-
Don't ever leave me.
Don't ever leave me.
-
No, no, no, Daddy.
-
No, I won't.
-
He told the lads that were in his
bathroom that they should sleep.
-
He stood up and he locked the doors,
and he switched the lights down.
-
He said to me, Oh, can
you take your pyjama bottoms off?
-
And I just was like a robot.
-
I just was like, Oh, yes, sir.
-
And like a parrot, like exactly what I did
-
for every other instruction
that he'd given me.
-
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
-
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
-
Like a freaking robot.
Yes, sir.
-
I've come the pyjama pants.
-
He would come towards me,
and then he'd wrap his leg
-
around the back of my legs
and lower me like a plank onto the carpet.
-
He lowered me on my back to the floor.
-
He started sticking his tongue in my ear.
-
It was this ear first,
and then he went into that ear.
-
And I remember lying there like a piece
-
of wood, I'm thinking,
what the What is he doing?
-
It's disgusting.
-
It's disgusting.
-
What?
-
And I totally froze.
I just panicked.
-
It went into complete panic.
-
He was grinding and sticking his fingers
-
and his tongue in my ear,
and I'm lying there.
-
And then within five minutes,
-
he's basically done his business
and masturbated on me, basically.
-
Gets up and says to me, Okay, you can go.
-
I was 17 years old.
-
I didn't realise what was happening to me.
-
I was a good little Christian girl.
-
I didn't know what it was.
-
It became so robotic.
-
I disconnected from my body.
-
I just became like a puppet.
-
Going up to his room in the middle
-
of the night, I always saw
young girls coming downstairs.
-
My mind would sometimes go,
-
I wonder if they're having the
type of time I'm having with him.
-
At first, it was like, remove your top,
and I would be uncomfortable with it.
-
And if I didn't do what he wanted,
-
then he would threaten me to the point
where eventually he would
-
assault me and then
blame me afterwards and say, You did this.
-
You did this.
Look at what you've done to me.
-
Look what you've done.
-
Each embarrassment you receive,
each insult shot you receive,
-
each prosecution you receive,
-
would draw you closer, closer to Jesus.
-
The first time that he made any sexual
-
move on me, he touched my breast and he
was hugging me and breathing heavily.
-
I went to to one of the disciples,
Does he touch you inappropriately?
-
She jumped and said, No.
He's my father.
-
Even if he touches me, even if he hugs me,
I know that he is my father.
-
You would confide in someone
before you know it.
-
Meeting, meeting, meeting.
-
Once you hear a bell for meeting,
everybody starts shaking.
-
Who knows what is going to happen now?
-
When we have the disciple meetings
-
at night for reporting,
you would just see people running.
-
So when you see people running,
when you see disciples running,
-
you just run and you follow
where they're running to.
-
You would just run.
-
Discipleship meetings They
filled me with a sense of doom.
-
He'd start the meeting and say, Okay,
who has a report?
-
I just opened the door,
-
and when the other woman was standing
there with this woman,
-
and I phoned my own guard and said,
I don't know what's going on.
-
I was thought by the alcohol woman,
this woman in the very dark place.
-
So I was very surprised.
-
We were obligated to go and report
and tell TB Joshua every single thing.
-
If you did the wrong thing,
-
there was punishment,
and that was served in different forms.
-
The sister reported me and said, Oh,
-
Jessica called me and told me
that you touched her inappropriately.
-
He stood up from his chair.
-
Do I do that to you?
-
Can I do that?
-
A man of God?
-
And she said, No, sir.
She's lying.
-
She's just lustful.
-
He hit me.
-
He slapped me.
He punched me.
-
He killed to me in the stomach.
-
All disciples go through this.
-
Even the most powerful people have to be
-
brought down because he is
at the very top all the time.
-
If there's a plan for you,
-
when you come to that meeting,
you will be able defend yourself.
-
Shut up.
-
Keep quiet.
-
What do you want to say?
-
Do you want to argue with Papa?
-
Do you want to argue with Daddy?
-
Man of God, please.
-
Oh God, please help me.
-
That's me speaking.
-
What are the things you're used to do?
-
I'm stubborn, I'm proud.
-
I need for Please, please,
please, everybody, please.
-
You are the only able to have
done me, but I've changed.
-
I've been laid flat on the floor.
-
My skirt was lifted up
and I was just naked.
-
It hits me with that horse whip.
-
He actually laid down on the floor.
-
He would use it.
-
Power, power, power, power, power,
power, power, power, You were blood.
-
He beat you with that mercy.
Why?
-
I'm in crisis, all I have.
-
Please help me, sir.
-
Many at times, I have been
punished with beatings.
-
You are at his mercy.
-
You're at his mercy.
-
I remember her being in a state
of emotional turmoil.
-
No one is ever in that top
position the whole time.
-
That's the cycle.
-
You're built up and broken down.
-
Look, don't show any
sympathy for this boy.
-
Tb Joshua liked to humiliate people.
-
He humiliates people so much.
-
One day, I called him and said,
Daddy, why are you so angry like this?
-
He laughed.
-
He said, I know what I'm doing.
-
It will put fear in the disciples.
-
He was really violent.
-
We don't speak about these things.
-
There was no safe place.
-
There was no friend.
-
There was nobody you could go to and say,
Oh my God, this happened.
-
I saw this.
He'd be terrified.
-
He made everybody your enemy and you,
everybody else's enemy.
-
I know what it is to be poor, and I also
know what it is to have more than enough.
-
We are school fees
from primary to university.
-
I'm ready.
-
Tb Joshua has double face.
-
The face on Emmanuel TV and the real face.
-
You are no more a poor lady again.
-
One million naira for you.
-
Wow.
-
My voice is so far, God.
-
When you finish university,
you want to have something to do.
-
Okay, don't worry.
We will make sure we get you established.
-
God had told him that he must show
other people the right way to live.
-
You started having massive events
-
for people that had got disabilities,
wheelchair-bound people.
-
He'd give them rice, he'd give them food.
-
There was this massive show of generosity.
-
We're going to put the first
10th up on this flat area.
-
We're going to put communities
inside, children, old people.
-
$10,000 from Pupperti Bidushua
and Emmanuel TV.
-
His shield was his message.
-
This mass outworking of charity
to cover who he really was.
-
Nothing is as strong as love.
-
Spoken from the heart, I love you.
-
It was very difficult to watch
this man preach every Sunday.
-
Topics about love and about mercy,
-
they felt very strange
coming from his lips.
-
I stayed myself in the mirror
a lot of the time.
-
Maybe I do look like him.
Maybe.
-
For as long as I can remember, I have
been raised as TB Joshua's daughter.
-
I knew the child,
Ajokey, right from birth.
-
She's his actual daughter,
-
his biological daughter,
with another woman outside of wedlock.
-
He didn't seem to like her very much.
-
She was labelled the black
sheep of the family.
-
I was in primary school.
-
I was made to move to the disciples room.
-
I didn't volunteer to be a disciple.
-
I was made to join.
-
A joker grew inside the synagogue
like an outcast.
-
I think he wanted to keep her a secret.
-
I don't think he wanted
anyone to know who she was.
-
The message about Ajahar was that she had
-
terrible evil spirits
that needed to be driven out.
-
There was a time in the disciples
-
meetings, he said that
people could beat her.
-
Anyone in the female
dormitory could just hit her.
-
And I saw people just walking in,
just slapping her as they walked past.
-
Ajoke, a little thing She did
something, you slept at two.
-
There was a particular
time that I was very tired.
-
I had slept a little bit too much.
-
So he started shouting at her
to get up, to get up, to get up.
-
And there was another disciple there
-
who basically took it and took it
to the shower
-
and whipped her with an electrical
cord and then turned the hot water on.
-
I put my head right on the hot water.
-
I was screaming at the top of my voice.
-
I just let the water run
in my head for a very long time.
-
We're talking about years and years
-
of abuse, consistent abuse,
abuse that wasn't ending.
-
He hated her, and he
punished her for being born.
-
Her existence was probably
the biggest threat to his reputation.
-
I couldn't even have an identity.
-
That pain cannot be put into words.
-
I felt like, you know what, maybe
I really don't deserve to be alive.
-
What's her fault?
-
What has that girl done?
-
It pains me.
-
She was still very young that time.
-
Can you imagine how heartless we were?
-
Things like that.
-
It's scary to talk about.
-
It's really shameful.
-
I witnessed that and I didn't do
anything to help Oh, my goodness.
-
I don't know what she
thought about the rest of us.
-
The disciples were
both brainwashed and enabled us.
-
Everybody was just acting
based on commands like zombies.
-
Nobody was questioning anything.
-
They were beyond fanatics.
-
Where does your conscience come?
-
How far can your conscience go without
-
some form of accountability,
without some form of truth?
-
How far?
-
I think what's really hard to understand,
-
even for myself,
is how you can have someone who's sitting
-
here with a sound mind now, narrating
events that happened that are so
-
atrocious, didn't do
anything to stop them.
-
Why didn't you, Ray,
stop what you know what was going on?
-
Why didn't you stop it?
-
It was a culture.
-
We become numb to it.
-
It was normal.
-
You've got people abusing who are abused.
-
He took people who were good, caring,
-
kind, lovely people,
and he turned them into monsters.
-
There was a time when Dibrusha called me
-
into to his office and asked me,
Do you think I'm a monster?
-
What Dibliashua said to me about what he
-
was doing to me was that he could see
into my future, that I was going to lead
-
a life of promiscuity and that he had
to do what he was doing for my salvation.
-
He was telling me that,
I'm your father and I'm delivering you.
-
We went into his room and I stood
there and he said, Off your clothes.
-
So I removed my clothes
and then he just pointed.
-
So I lie down and then He raped me.
-
He broke my virginity.
-
I was screaming and he was whispering
-
in my ear that you should
stop acting like a baby.
-
Better shut up.
You want to make noise?
-
You want people to hear?
-
I felt like There was a beast,
like this beast.
-
I was 17 years old.
-
I was underage.
-
When he come back from the service,
he kept forcing himself on me.
-
He assured me God was not upset.
-
The more I made him happy,
God will be happy with me.
-
He grabbed me and he helped me very close
-
to him, and he literally then pushed
-
me down to the bed and he got on me.
-
I was still so shocked.
-
I was still bleeding.
-
He spit on the floor and he held my hands
-
and he looked straight into my eyes
and said, I can see you are my child now.
-
Don't betray me.
-
You were absolutely trapped because you
-
were there for salvation, and he was
the only one who could give you salvation.
-
And I had told myself,
-
no one else will ever watch you,
and there is no home for you.
-
And I just knew.
-
I just...
-
You just tell yourself, this is my life.
-
I have no alternative.
-
Look, each time you'd be called.
-
Each time, they would say,
Daddy's calling you.
-
Hey, man.
-
The bottom line is you'd have to go there.
-
You would have to just put your
feelings aside and just go there.
-
Look at the screen of your
television right now.
-
Somebody who is asked me
to pregnant her this guy.
-
The boy that was helping me, he raped him.
-
And I'm reporting to you.
Rape.
-
Nobody rape her.
Nobody raped her.
-
Okay, she said, Tempt her.
-
That spirit of tempting.
-
You see, rape.
-
You hear her say she's fled.
-
So let's cast the spirit out of her.
-
Okay?
-
You He was a sexual predator.
-
He was a ritualist.
-
Tb Joshua asked me to find virgins
-
for him, to bring young
girls into disciple fold.
-
In the midnight,
-
this person will be called into his
bedroom so that he could disvirgin them.
-
When those girls come out,
-
he usually He take
all the bedsheets and everything.
-
He pack them and take them
to the prayer mountain.
-
It's very important for me
to speak to the world.
-
I am using it as a platform of confession.
-
What I was doing then was against God.
-
I remember one day,
TB Joshua, he called for me.
-
He allowed me on the gold.
-
We went so far.
-
There was a prayer I
had never seen before.
-
So in that room, it's our duty to make
sure that we own a certain instance there.
-
If he's going to enter there,
that place must be filled with smoke.
-
We do normally have our
meetings in the night.
-
He trusts me
with the assignment he's giving me.
-
It's just candles everywhere, pictures,
-
All the disciples' pictures,
we pour it on the floor.
-
His own picture is not there.
-
His wife's picture is not there.
-
It's only the disciples.
-
He wear a red garment, plain red.
-
The garment is long down to his ankle,
and he would hold a sword in his hand.
-
Those pictures, he will place
the sword directly on the face.
-
It will be pierced through
and it will be pinned down there.
-
They are in bondage,
spiritually and physically.
-
This is what you have done to people.
-
You just move around this prayer room,
and you move in an anticlockwise way.
-
Holding this sword, going around.
Oh, Lord, forgive us.
-
Oh, Lord, forgive us.
Oh, Lord, forgive us.
-
Have mercy on us.
-
Have mercy on us.
-
I've never seen this thing before.
-
Everything about his prayer
room is photos, people's photos.
-
And I can tell you,
they are mostly ladies.
-
What he did was all intentional.
-
He was doing all those sexual activities
for something spiritual.
-
Satan knows everything
that people cannot know.
-
Tb Joshua is not any man of God.
-
He's a man of evil.
-
There was a system in there
that he used to abuse these women.
-
He's the one that crafted
the building of his apartment.
-
He designed it.
-
The whole building was just
designed to keep secret.
-
Multiple doors,
multiple entrance trees and exits.
-
The staircase you can use to get
to his five story was like four.
-
I call a lady, probably wants to see you.
-
He will tell you the specific
staircase that this person should come.
-
He would always tell you which entrance
to take, which door to get into.
-
You can ask the ladies to come through
any of the door so people don't see them.
-
He would always ask you, When you come,
did anybody see you?
-
You'd be like, No, sir.
-
Then you would rape me again.
-
It was a process, a very nasty cycle.
-
We couldn't see it right under our nose.
-
He designed a system
for deceiving all of us disciples.
-
A lot of women were
being abused by this man.
-
I had no idea.
-
I thought I I was the only one.
-
I didn't know that that thing
had happened to anybody else.
-
They were all in the same system.
-
This is a place, a system,
where you have nobody to talk to.
-
And there was nothing I could do.
-
Where the five story builders are,
they are the ones covering him.
-
These are children of 16, 17 years.
-
He kept all of us in slavery.
-
Total, absolute slavery.
-
Almost every day,
TB Joshua have girls in his room.
-
If I'm going to count in a week, seeing
these things four to five times in a week.
-
Every week?
Yes, every week.
-
Rape became a normal terrifying thing
that you would do.
-
It's like you are
an animal being slaughtered.
-
He would be calling girls in,
one after the other.
-
I stayed there almost 14 years.
-
There were been thousands.
Watch your screen.
-
Watch your screen.
-
You are going to deliver a baby boy
in the 90 name of Chesa time.
-
We used to film women giving birth, life.
-
He's somebody who used to paint
a picture that he loves children.
-
But behind the closed doors,
It's a nightmare.
-
It's a nightmare.
-
I had three abortions at the synagogue.
-
And from speaking to other women,
I'm You're not the only one.
-
If any of us got pregnant, he said,
You cannot betray the men of God.
-
We have to do something about it.
-
We meant that he rapes,
he forces them into abortion.
-
I never had a choice whether I
could keep a potential child or not.
-
I felt like I didn't own my body.
-
You know it, you You skip your first
-
period, you skip your second period,
and you have to talk.
-
It would all done in secret.
-
You'd be taken by one of these
elder moms to this clinic of his.
-
I witnessed a lot of abortions.
-
Lots of abortions.
-
It can't be counted.
-
They started doing it
inside the synagogue.
-
There's a place they
call Medical Department.
-
We went out through the backdoor office.
-
We went downstairs.
-
There's an area that visitors
would never see.
-
You're given a concortion to drink,
you get sick,
-
or they put these metal pieces in your
vagina and they extract whatever,
-
and you don't know whether they're pulling
out your womb or something's going wrong.
-
She was squeezing my stomach and I
had to push all those things.
-
She was saying, Out, out, out.
-
Sometimes Things go wrong.
-
One of them almost died
inside the synagogue.
-
These were backdoor medical treatments
that I, we were going through.
-
It could have killed us.
-
I saw how they suffered.
-
I saw how they suffered.
-
There were times I would
go to the penthouse.
-
I would be looking over to the main road.
-
I would be crying.
-
I was crying.
-
I was crying for them.
-
Sometimes you'd find yourself singing
-
on stage at church, and people will think
you're crying because
-
the Holy spirit is there,
but in actual fact, you're dead inside.
-
The first time I met him,
it looked helpful.
-
It looked loving.
-
Not knowing that behind that
was a saddest, a psychopath.
-
And I wanted to be connected to God.
-
That's why I stayed there.
-
That's why I keep trying my very best.
-
The God I was introduced to is evil.
-
He's diabolic because this is
the same God that would sleep with us.
-
This is the same God
that would beat us up.
-
This is the same God
that would manipulate us.
-
You have no idea of what I went through.
-
Every
-
time I was beating up, every time I
was humiliated,
-
it just reminded me that there was
something wrong with that sister.
-
I saw a female type was
going off to his room.
-
They were away.
They were going away for hours.
-
I was hearing things,
Oh, this happened to me.
-
Oh, he tried sleeping Too
many people were saying the same thing.
-
Accounts, first time of people
who had experienced sexual abuse.
-
She got to know who he was,
and she could not manage it quietly.
-
She escalited it.
-
I couldn't take care anymore.
-
I walked directly into his
office and I went off.
-
I shouted at the top of my voice,
Why are you doing all of this?
-
Why are you hurting all of these women?
-
You're using this woman.
-
You're sleeping with this woman.
-
I had lost every out of fear for this man.
-
He was shocked.
-
He was beyond shocked,
and he couldn't hide it.
-
He tried to stare me down.
Why?
-
I was looking at his eyes.
-
He got scared up, claiming
innocence to the disciples.
-
When he's angry, it's like he can kill.
-
He was the first person
that started hitting, hitting her.
-
Then other people joined.
-
He was like, Can you imagine
what she was saying about me?
-
Even as much as they were hitting her,
-
beating her, she was still saying
the same thing she was saying.
-
If you are having an affair
with all these women here.
-
She said it plainly to him.
-
The disciples dragged
me out to the office.
-
I was put in a room totally isolated
from the rest of the church.
-
He would lock up in a room for months.
-
I'm not telling you a week, so months.
-
I I wonder how I lived through that time
-
because they were hitting
me with belts, chains.
-
I couldn't even
stand up for days after this meeting.
-
I couldn't take a shower.
-
He was trying so hard to stop
people from listening to me.
-
He just felt threatened by the fact
that I knew the things that was happening.
-
Ajoke was bold enough to confront him
-
in front of his disciples.
-
I see her as a hero.
-
To look at him and tell him who he is.
-
She was brave.
-
This child could see what we couldn't see
-
and wouldn't yield to the lies
and was punished for it.
-
He created an image of an untouchable
being, of a perfect being.
-
But I was looking through those things.
-
I was seeing a man that was very
-
vulnerable, that was
very afraid of the truth.
-
He
was very afraid that someone would speak
-
up, could turn around and make him
answer to those things that he had done.
-
Everything was a cake of gunpowder,
and it could have gone off in one moment.
-
The families were lied, too.
-
He bought the whole system.
-
How do you stand up to a man who has
got a list of presidents in his pocket?
-
Just continue to watch Emmanuel TV.
-
Tv Joshua preaches forgiveness.
-
He doesn't forgive.
-
They shot at the back of the record, What?
-
He sent them to kill me.
-
He tried to kill me.
-
Everywhere, I turned to post like war.
