openDemocracy’s “outstanding storytelling” has been recognised with a win at the UK’s Royal Television Society’s Television Journalism Awards last week.
We took home the prize in the Digital Journalism category for our two-part documentary, Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua, which was produced in collaboration with BBC Africa Eye.
Following a two-year investigation, the documentary revealed how TB Joshua, Nigeria’s most prominent Christian televangelist, had physically and sexually abused at least a dozen of his top disciples who joined his ministry in Lagos.
