Episode Four: The Maze
Wednesday January 31
Anneka confronts TB Joshua. What really happened in his fifth-floor apartment at the top of the Lagos church compound? After she flees, TB Joshua sends one of his most trusted disciples to bring her back. “I knew she’d been sent to take me,” Anneka says. Meanwhile, behind the miracles is a secret machine run by TB Joshua’s most trusted disciples, and some of them are turning whistleblowers. Presenters Charlie Northcott and Yemisi Adegoke investigate the cult of TB Joshua, a story of miracles, manipulation and abuse.
