T.B Joshua’s tomb house burns, cause of fire unknown
The tomb house where the late Pastor Temitope Joshua’s remains was buried is gutted by fire.
Joshua founded the Synagogue Church of All Nations, and he was known internationally for his miracle claims.
His tomb house is located on a property on Ajidebiri Street, in the Igando area of Lagos.
The Acting Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency, Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the incident, adding that firemen had put out the blaze.
“The incident happened at a building belonging to the late pastor,” Farinloye said.
“The late pastor usually went there to relax and meditate. Federal fire service officials moved in to put out the fire.”
The Head, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, Margaret Adeseye, said the fire affected the shelter covering the late pastor’s tomb.
“It is confirmed that a section around the tomb of the late pastor TB Joshua caught fire.
“A shelter was built to cover the tomb because it is an open place, so, it was the shelter that caught fire.
“But we were able to curtail it and it did not spread beyond where it started from. We have yet to identify the cause of the fire,” she said.
