“July 6 to July 7, there would be a tribute service at 10am to 7pm which would be opened to the public but with limited physical presence, following the service of songs and an all night praise starting at midnight. July 8, would be the lying-in-state of the prophet from 11:00am to 5:00pm.”
The church noted that the event would be open to the public to pay their last respect to the man of God, adding that, July 9, would be the laying to rest service and interment activities which would begin at 10:00am, as well as the thanksgiving service to be held on July 11 by 9.00am.
They explained that SCOAN was working with Lagos State Government and the Ministry of Health to ensure that the current public health and security protocols would be observed during the duration of the event.

However, speaking at a press conference organized by the church to give updates on the burial arrangements for TB Joshua, who died on June 5, the church denied the reports.
According to Dr Gary Tonge Freng, who spoke on behalf the church, no one has been appointed to lead the affairs of the church at the moment.
Speaking on the burial arrangements, Freng said the church would broadcast live the week-long funeral beginning from July 5 to July 11, 2021.
He further revealed that Joshua would be buried at the church contrary to wishes by the traditional rulers in Arigidi Akoko, the prophet’s hometown in Ondo State.
