The Disciples 5/6: Collapse
Delve into a World of Secrets – major ѿý global investigations and gripping storytelling.
The new 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.
Episode five: Collapse
People are trapped under rubble in the Lagos church compound. The eyes of the world are now on TB Joshua. Beneath the collapsed building is 23-year-old Princess, from South Africa. Her mother says she’s told: “just pray”. Disciple Emmanuel goes to the scene. “You could hear people, and their voices are fading. From louder, it’s getting weaker.” As suspicion about the cause of the collapse intensifies, Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, flies in to offer his condolences to TB Joshua and the bereaved families. Meanwhile, the “prophet” gives a bizarre explanation.
