It comes weeks after an investigation by the BBC and openDemocracy uncovered evidence of widespread sexual abuse and torture by the late preacher.

Emmanuel TV played a key role in his rise from local pastor to global star.

TB Joshua died in 2021, but his Synagogue Church of All Nations (Scoan) is now run by his wife Evelyn Joshua.

The church has not commented on the removal, but has said previous allegations of wrongdoing have been “unfounded”.

Emmanuel TV had more than half a million followers on YouTube and hundreds of millions of views.

This is the second time in three years that its YouTube channel has been suspended, following previous breaches of the platform’s community guidelines.

As part of the investigation with the BBC, openDemocracy analysed Emmanuel TV’s online presence, finding at least 50 “abusive” videos on YouTube.

Their team reported the videos to YouTube and the account was suspended on 29 January.

In a comment to the BBC, the Google-owned video-sharing platform said Emmanuel TV had been “terminated for violating… hate speech policies”.

TB Joshua was famed for his “healing” ministries and filmed hundreds of services that claimed to show him curing the physically disabled and chronically ill – which multiple former church members have subsequently debunked.

The content openDemocracy reported included Emmanuel TV footage of people with mental health issues being kept in chains, cases of medical misinformation and examples of smear campaigns against women who spoke out about TB Joshua’s sexual abuse.

Emmanuel TV’s satellite channel was dropped on 17 January by MultiChoice, a South African company that runs popular satellite services DStv and GOTv.

For many years, the channel was one of the most successful Christian networks in the world, broadcasting to millions all over the world.

Following the publication of the BBC’s investigation into TB Joshua, a number of contributors have been trolled by church and Emmanuel TV affiliated accounts online. These accounts were also reported to YouTube by openDemocracy, but they have not been removed.

YouTube and other social media platforms have come under intense scrutiny in recent years over their online safety policies.

Your account name really fits you.

Acts 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

I have known SCOAN since childhood to be SCAM... And I am surprised that people can't differentiate fake from original, even the so call Christians..

I have studied this issue very well and I discovered that, those defending the fake prophet.

1. Are below 30 years
2. Did not grow up in Lagos.
3. Have either eaten his rice or collected his money.
4. Have attached emotion to the event.
5. Some believe it an attack on the body of Christ( that's blasphemy, what does light have to do with darkness)
6. Have been watching on screen and never been to the church.

Because how will people that lived with a man say all these, we in the area already knew all these...

And some gullible ones will argue, why didn't they say it when he was alive.. hello they've been saying it.. but fatai uses money to cover everything.. I think BBC is bigger than him.

For you to know that they've been saying it while he was alive.. go check YouTube.. you will see several people that didn't appear on BBC documentary saying the same thing while he was alive..

My own surprise is BBC coming to tell us what we already knew and I see people arguing like, seriously! You didn't know that SCOAN is a scam?

Ask yourself since you say the devil is fighting the body of Christ, why is SCOAN not among any body of Christ in Nigeria.. PFN, CAN etc..

They knew he was fetish and never accepted him..

You are a Christian, you see the way miracles are performed and you can't detect fake🤥.

How many members of the body of Christ have come out to defend him except the ones using same template and are also fake prophet...

Please TB Joshua was human stop defending someone you don't know cos he called himself a prophet..
