TB Joshua is known to thousands of people around the world as a "prophet of God" with healing hands that can cure anything from disabilities to cancer and HIV/Aids.
"Divine healing is the supernatural power of God bringing health to the human flesh," says the Synagogue Church of All Nations (Scoan) onits websites
"Thousands who come oppressed with sickness and disease receive their healing at the Scoan... Truly, there is never a sickness Jesus cannot heal."
A multi-storey guest house belonging to the church collapsed in Lagos, Nigeria on Friday killing dozens of people, including 67 South Africans. The South Africans were believed to be part of at least five tour groups staying at Joshua's church at the time.
Agencies reported that over 100 survivors had been rescued.
According to the church's website Joshua can cure just about anything.
Videos posted show people who have allegedly been healed by him. One man, apparently in a wheelchair, walked out of the church after being healed. A deaf woman suddenly began hearing.
Another woman with cystic fibrosis and various others with HIV and Aids had been "miraculously healed".
The website contains some gory before and after photographs of people whose wounds had been healed. Wounds included dog bites, burns, ulcers, and a "cancer-eaten arm".
