Primate Babatunde Ayodele is seeking reprieve for Synagogue
Church of All Nations’ Pastor TB Joshua and General Overseer of the Christian
Praying Assembly, Rev. Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Reverend King. In a message sent to Sunday Vanguard,
yesterday, the Founder and Head of Inri
Evangelical and Spiritual Church pleaded that government should temper justice
with mercy on the embattled Synagogue Church pastor.
TB Joshua’s Synagogue
is standing trial alongside its contractors before a Lagos State High Court
in respect of the Friday 12 September, 2014 collapse of a guest house located
within the church premises around Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos State, which was
said to have killed about 116 people.
Joshua’s case is however different from that of Ezeugo, who is currently
challenging, at Supreme Court, his sentence to death by hanging by a Lagos
State High Court since 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and
murder.

Ayodele lamented that other churches had continued to be
silent over Joshua plights linking it to reason that the embattled SCOAN pastor
was not member of Christian Association of Nigeria and Pentecostal Fellowship
of Nigeria. He described TB Joshua as a
lonely voice in the wilderness.

“I am appealing to the government of Lagos State to temper
justice with mercy over Pastor TB Joshua considering the fact that he has
helped quite a great number of people spiritually and has empowered them
largely. They should please forgive him
and leave the rest to God if they think he was really guilty as charged,”
Ayodele said.
