According to the Nigerian online portal The Pointer News, Vicki Royce, an upcoming singer based in Lagos State, confessed that “she was paid to carry out the evil act” in accusing Joshua of rape and experienced a mental breakdown ever since her name was embroiled in the scandal.
It would be recalled that shortly after the COZA rape scandal erupted, multiple Nigerian blogs carried the news alleging Royce was raped by Joshua in 2012, even though she didn’t specifically mention his name in the tweets where she recounted the purported assault.
Several days later, Royce retorted online that Joshua was not the one who abused her, although the story of his sordid involvement had already spread in the Nigerian social media sphere.
"I beg of you! I was paid to accuse you of rape,” Vicki is quoted as saying to Joshua after she was spotted deliriously ‘roaming’ the streets of Lagos. “Pray for me so that I can get better."
The news comes on the heels of a viral video showcasing another prominent accuser of Joshua, Bisola Johnson, confessing to her own mental instability years earlier in Joshua’s church and ‘begging’ for his help.
It is not the first account of Joshua’s critics being paid to accuse him.
A video on Emmanuel TV's YouTube channel detailing an ex-militant’s confession that he was recruited by a Nigerian church to badmouth Joshua in public crusades in exchange for monetary incentives has been viewed 200,000 times.
The cleric, who is known for his calm mien despite the numerous attacks levelled at him, has described his ‘haters’ as providing free advertisement for his ministry.
“Let people advertise you. Don’t fight back. If truly you are genuine, whatever people say about you – whether they condemn you or spoil your name – it is for your good. If truly you are sent by God, it will turn around to favour you,” he said.

These men have free pussies chasing them all over, why will they resort to rape?

ReplyDeleteOk o. The just shall live by faith and the Lord shall vindicate the righteous.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so easy for one to smear another’s reputation with rape.
ReplyDeleteTrue.

DeleteHmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for the 30 rape victims o.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how they run mad. Don't you smell something fishy from that church
ReplyDeleteI say a resounding GOD BLESS YOU! Even Chris Okotie nearly went mad on air during a live interview many years ago when he accused TB Joshua of being evil. Just this morning my mum was telling me about a friend of hers who went to the church back then. A lot of women are sex slaves over there. But hey, this is Nigeria. He's got money and other things.
DeleteToo much sense will not kill you!

ReplyDeleteHmmm. Others will keep quiet. Accuse him, you get afflicted with madness. All these accusations cannot keep coming up if there's no truth in them. One day it will be exposed in such a way that it can't be covered. There is nothing hidden that shall not be made.....
ReplyDeleteGbam!
Delete.If God judges instantly most of us would have ran into our streets as mad persons, this travails has a lot of question mark??
ReplyDeleteI swear everyone go don turn mad man
DeleteYou are smart!
DeleteAll in the bid to paint @Busola black
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be sued by Joshua. Accusation of rape isn't something people should play with or toss around. There are real victims out there. They need to ask her Who paid her? Fatoyinbo or Joshua himself to debunked future allegations. Once she is well, she needs to be arrested and questioned. Enough of the false accusations makes us cast aspersions on real ones. Hiss!
ReplyDelete@ Anony 10:13 and Bed and Roses check these scriptures out:
ReplyDelete2Kings 25v23-24 bears ate up 42 boys who mocked Elisha because he cursed them . (*However, this man T. B Joshua blessed his accusers and Biodun Fatoyinbo denied being a rapist *)
Time, investigations/convincing evidences and above all God will bring the truth to light.
Acts 13v8-11, Paul the apostle laid blindness on Elymas the sorcerer for withstanding the gospel of Christ from being preached to the Deputy of a country.
Acts 5v1-16, Ananias and Sapphira died for lying to the Holy Ghost (durung Peter's apostleship)
Luke 11v 14-23, Jesus was accused of using the power of Belzebub.
Acts 8v9-13 Simon, the sorcerer bewitched Samaritans for a while but believed and gave up sorcery when Philip preached the Kingdom of God and the name Christ of Christ.
1Cor2v4-5 the gospel of Christ and Kingdom of God is in not in word but power.
1cor4v19-20
2Tim 2v24 - A man of God shall not strive.
If this man T. B Joshua is fishy or untrustworthy, God will sooner or later expose him.
If this Biodun Fatoyinbo is guilty of rape, God will sooner or later expose him.
If any of these men are innocent , God will sooner or later vindicate them.
Let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity. 2Tim2v19
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb10v31. (Not even the court of public opinion can save such a person)
*during* Peter's apostleship (typo)
Deleteidiot...you must be stupid to say if biodun is guilty....biodun's judgement has started. as for TB joshua he is fake and i pity all those who go there for demonic powers.his turn is coming. as for the rape allegation i cant say,but any person who can hide under the guise of christianity to conjure "miracles" can do anything. why are allthe people who accuse him going mad? we dey look
DeleteHmmmmmmmm. OK..... O
ReplyDeleteSo who paid her?
ReplyDeleteWho paid the other militant?
We can't just continue to swallow the gist of "they were paid to smear me", who are the we?
Why haven't sued any of the persons that have paid to smear him?
Abeg, let's leave thrash for LAWMA, the story no pure.
Thats how Ese had a mental breakdown and lost her marriage.
ReplyDeleteThis time as people wanted to drag her into Busolas matter, she immediately pulled out...
Na Timi i dey pity
