The Disciples 3/6
Delve into a World of Secrets – major ѿý global investigations and gripping storytelling.
This series of World of Secrets investigates the cult of Nigerian “prophet” TB Joshua. It is a story of miracles, manipulation and abuse, told by people from around the world, who gave up everything for one of the most powerful religious figures of the century. Lured by TB Joshua’s claimed healing powers, and the promise that one day they could be like him, they live as disciples in a guarded Lagos compound, cut off from families and friends.
Namibian teenager Jessica gives up everything to join “prophet” TB Joshua in Lagos. In the church compound, disciples are encouraged to call him “Daddy”. Then, Anneka tries to escape.
This programme contains descriptions and references to sexual and physical violence, including sexual assault, rape, and the language associated with it.
