The recent Synagogue collapse saga has unleased another side effect of the Nigerian journalism as a journalist, named Nicholas Ibekwe revealed that Prophet T.B. Joshua offered journalists who are covering the building collapse 50,000 naira each. According to Nicholas, the bribe was an attempt to cover up the number of people who died during the incident.
Nicholas further said “after giving them the money, Prophet T.B. Joshua asked them what they plan to write and some of them replied, whatever he wants them to write. He then asked them to focus on the people who survived and were rescued rather than those who died”.

To back up his claim, Nicholas also released an audio proof. Please listen below and share your view:
