Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Joshua, one of Africa's most influential evangelists, reportedly died at the age of 57.

A post on his verified Facebook page, which has more than five million followers, said: "God has taken His servant".

He was said to have died on Saturday, June 5, shortly after conducting a live broadcast, but the cause of his death has not been made public.

Here are few interesting facts you should know about the late SCOAN founder:

Temitope Balogun Joshua popularly called 'TB Joshua' was born 12th June 1963, in Ondo, Nigeria.

As a youngster, Joshua went to St. Stephen’s Anglican Primary School between 1971 and 1977, but that was where his schooling reportedly ended. He didn’t go to High School.

Due to his love for the Bible, he was called ‘small pastor’ at school. He was the leader of Scripture Union when he was in school, and ran Bible studies for the local children.

After school, TB Joshua had various casual jobs. He also reportedly tried to join the military, but his train broke down on the way to his interview, so he missed out.

He founded The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, in Nigeria. The organisation also runs the Emmanuel TV television station, which originates from Lagos.

TB Joshua is a self-proclaimed messenger of God. There are claims of miracle healings in his church, which probably accounts for some of the popularity.

TB Joshua is a major influence throughout Africa. He has over 2.5 million followers on Facebook and around 500,000 subscribers on YouTube. In April, YouTube suspended his account due to allegations of hate speech after a rights body filed a complaint over videos showing the preacher conducting prayers to "cure" gay people.
