Tears flowed from heavy faces as Temitope Balogun Joshua, the late cleric popularly known as TB Joshua, was laid to rest at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) on Friday.

The pastor passed away on June 5 at the age of 57.

His body was brought into the church premises in the Ikotun area of Lagos state during the lying-in-state service on Thursday.

On Friday, Joshua was buried in the presence of family members and loved ones.

Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, graced the event while Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Lagos counterpart, was represented by Olanrewaju Elegushi, the state commissioner for home affairs.

Akeredolu visited the church alongside Lucky Aiyedatiwa, his deputy, to honour Joshua, an indigene of Ondo state.

Evelyn, Joshua’s widow, and her children were also present at the interment service.

Other dignitaries at the event include Hakeem Odumosu, Lagos commissioner of police; Samson Ayokunle, president of the Christian association of Nigeria (CAN) who was represented by Biodun Sanyaolu, the general secretary of CAN.
