Leading video and streaming platform, YouTube has removed Synagogue Church of All Nation, SCOAN main channel, Emmanuel TV from its platform following sexual and assault allegations against the founder of the church Prophet TB Joshua.

Earlier, MultiChoice, the parent company of DSTV and GOTV had removed Emmanuel TV from its platform over the allegations.

YouTube said the channel was removed over violation of its policy.

“The flagged channel was terminated for violating our hate speech policies,” YouTube said.

YouTube has policies against cyberbullying and harassment and specifically forbids harassment against survivors of sexual violence.

Earlier this month, BBC released a documentary where some of his former associates accused TB Joshua of sexually and physically assaulting them while he was alive.
