Ajoke Not Prophet’s Biological Daughter – TB Joshua’s Disciple Clarifies
In a video observed by Church Times on January 10, Joseph David, a disciple of the late Televangelist Prophet TB Joshua, made a significant statement.
David contended that Ajoke, a prominent figure in the recent BBC broadcast shedding light on TB Joshua’s activities, was not biologically related to the late prophet.
This revelation introduces a new perspective to the ongoing discussions surrounding TB Joshua’s legacy.
David, who asserted his 27-year association with the late TB Joshua and disclosed his role as a trustee of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), revealed further details.
According to him, Ajoke was left near the church premises as an infant, abandoned by her mother.
Instead of taking her to an orphanage, Prophet TB Joshua chose to adopt and raise her after reporting the case to the police for documentation.
David emphasized that while TB Joshua had three biological children, Ajoke was considered an adopted daughter by the late prophet.
He said “Ajoke later grew up to the admiration of everybody in SCOAN. But suddenly she became rebellious and everybody was fed up with her until she left. All her records are in the SCOAN archives.”
David, addressing the allegations presented in the BBC documentary against TB Joshua, asserted that he deemed it unnecessary to refute them, as he believed they were fabricated.
However, he emphasized his moral responsibility to set the record straight on certain aspects that he considered convincing pieces of evidence, challenging the credibility of the claims made against the late Televangelist.
David refuted the claim that TB Joshua prohibited disciples from marrying while in the Church, clarifying that the late Televangelist only advised them to prioritize their careers before marriage.
Addressing the testimony of Angeline in the BBC documentary, he disclosed that she left the ministry to marry a disciple, a decision not supported by TB Joshua.
David alleged that Angeline returned years later stating “he raped me, he slept with me, with a hidden camera.”
David highlighted another case related to marriage, involving Agomoh Paul, an evangelist slated to lead the church branch in Ghana.
He stated that Paul, desiring to marry the daughter of a Regional Overseer against TB Joshua’s wishes, was dissuaded by the prophet which reportedly caused discontentment, leading to Paul’s exit from the church.
David said, “TB Joshua soon got to know Paul’s mind was no longer in the Church. Rather than continue to feel disgruntled, the prophet prayed for him and released him to leave the ministry.”
On Bisola, he said, “She was continuously unbearable until one day the Prophet asked her to bring her mother. When her mother came, she thanked the prophet and said to him, I know you are a true man of God. Bisola is my daughter, I know her very well, I don’t think you can tame her.”
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV transmission towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV transmission line, bringing relief to residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This development, completed three days past the scheduled deadline, has also restored full bulk power to the 132/33kV Apo Transmission Substation, enabling the resumption of normal power distribution in the area.
In a statement signed by Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, the company explained that the relocation became necessary due to the Federal Capital Development Authority’s (FCDA) road dualization project along the Southern Expressway.

The relocation work began on January 6, 2025, and involved dismantling and reconstructing the affected towers, as well as restringing power cables to ensure uninterrupted power flow.
To facilitate this, a planned power outage was implemented from January 6 to January 20, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria is pleased to announce the restoration of full bulk power to its 132/33kV Apo Transmission Substation, effective Thursday, January 23, 2025,” the statement read.
“This restoration follows the successful relocation of eight 132kV and 33kV towers along the Kukwaba/Apo 132kV line (Southern Expressway route), necessitated by the Federal Capital Development Agency’s road dualization project along the Apo axis.”
TCN thanked residents and electricity consumers for their patience during the period of power rationing, noting that Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) can now resume normal electricity supply to customers in the affected areas.
Renowned Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta, has sparked conversation by claiming that award-winning singer Davido is richer and more influential than his billionaire father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke.
Chatta made this statement while addressing the importance of respecting individuals in positions of authority, regardless of their age. He argued that accomplishments, not age, determine who an elder is. Using historical references, Chatta cited Alexander the Great, who achieved incredible feats before his death at 33, as an example of youthful greatness.
“God purposely placed some certain people in some positions, but you guys are looking at their age. It’s not about the age; any younger person that possesses things that belong to elders, is an elder,” Chatta said.
The actor emphasized that Davido’s wealth and influence surpass those of his father, despite Dr. Adeleke’s established status as a billionaire. Chatta highlighted the global recognition and adoration Davido commands, describing the singer as someone who garners immense loyalty and admiration.
“I was just looking at the numbers of people surrounding Davido the day I sat with him, I was just seeing how people were ready to be killed just to get to him. He is an elder. Davido’s father is a billionaire that has been doing big things before the singer’s arrival. His father is rich but not as Davido. If his dad is passing by, you might not recognise him, but if Davido passes here, a stampede will happen.”
Chatta’s remarks have stirred reactions across social media, with many debating whether fame and influence should outweigh wealth in defining success.
