The week long funeral procession of Nigerian Prophet and televangelist TB Joshua began on Monday, with a series of services culminating in a thanksgiving service on July 11.

Yesterday evening, July 5, saw funeral proceedings starting off with a candlelight procession at a private service.

Joshua, founder of the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) mega church, died on June 5 after a live broadcast, leaving his wife, three daughters and millions of followers throughout the African continent.

The church confirmed that all services will be broadcast live on the Christian television network founded by Joshua, Emmanuel TV, as well as on online video-streaming service YouTube.

On July 8, Joshua’s body will be lying in state between 11am and 5pm at SCOAN and will be open to the public.

On July 9, the laying to rest and interment segment of the week-long burial proceedings will take place. This will be open to the public, again with limited seating capacity.

Punch Nigeria reported on Sunday that the Lagos State government has inspected the facilities at SCOAN to ensure compliance with Covid-19 safety precautions in preparation for  Prophet TB Joshua’s funeral.
