The YouTube channel of T.B. Joshua, the leader of a megachurch in Lagos, Nigeria, was shut down last week after complaints about its content, which showed people being slapped and pushed as a way to « cure » them of their homosexuality.
Open Democracy, a U.K.-based human rights group, had alerted YouTube to the videos, the New York Daily News reports. Clips showed Joshua, founder of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations, “engaging in violent exorcism” to cast out “the demon of homosexuality,” according to Open Democracy.
One, for instance, shows him pushing a woman so hard that she falls to the floor. In the video, he slaps and pushes her and another woman, whom he calls her wife, at least 16 times.
