A member of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) at the Spintex Road, Madam Lina Kankam, has discredited news making rounds that their head pastor Prophet TB Joshua has a direct hand in the stampede that claimed the lives of four Ghanaians and left scores of individuals wounded.

She advised Ghanaians to season their words when attacking Prophet TB Joshua in the wake of the tragedy that has hit the nation.

Four Christians are reported to have died on Sunday May 19, 2013 during a stampede which occurred at a service at TB Joshua’s SCOAN church at the Spintex Road.

The stampede started when the huge congregation at the church rushed for the anointing water from Prophet TB Joshua.

But speaking on Okay FM, a senior member of the church told the host of the Ade Akyen Abia show that Prophet TB Joshua wasn’t in the country when the tragedy occurred.

She added that though their head pastor had announced on Emmanuel TV that he had plans of distributing holy water in other countries, he never ordered the leaders in Ghana to inform their members they would be distributing it.

Madam Lina Kankam confessed that they were really shocked that a lot of people got wind of Prophet TB Joshua’s message to them and attended the Sunday church service in their numbers.

Upon seeing the numbers that had attended the service, the leaders took it upon themselves not to distribute the water. But their decision, according to her, couldn’t stop the members outside the church auditorium from rushing into the main hall to try to get some.

Madam Lina Kankam ended by informing Ghanaians to embrace the teachings of Prophet TB Joshua and tap deep into his knowledge before criticising him.
