Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has mourned the demise of his friend and Founder of Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua.

The ex-minister had initially dismissed the report as fake news.
Fani-Kayode wrote, “The passing of my dearest brother Prophet TB Joshua saddens me deeply. At 3.00 am this morning I was told by one of his daughters that this was fake news and I tweeted as much.
“Sadly I was misled. Five minutes ago the same person called me back and confirmed the story. @GazetteNGR was right and I am in shock and pain.
