TB Joshua had said he would reopen his church when he receives direction from God to do so.
Speaking to EkoHotBlog, Blessing Akpan, a food vendor opposite the church building, said the church has not been fully operational since the nationwide lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In her words,”The church has not been operating in full capacity since last year due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Even after the lockdown was eased, it remained that way.
“The people you will find in the church premises are mostly expatriates that are maybe there for special prayers and have an appointment with the man of God.
“Unfortunately, since the death of the Prophet, they have all left and this has really affected our business.”
