The Founder and General Overseer of The
Synagogue Church of All Nations, Temitope
Joshua, has linked the collapse of an
uncompleted Guest House owned by his church to
a “strange aircraft” which he said hovered around
the building before its collapse.
Mr. Joshua said the plane hovered around the
collapsed building for over 30 minutes.
The clergyman spoke just as emergency officials
told this newspaper that 17 people died in the
incident while 123 others were evacuated alive
and rushed to hospital.
Briefing journalists, including a PREMIUM TIMES
reporter, on the incident on Saturday, the pastor
played a CCTV footage of a flying aircraft to back
his claim.
In the footage, a plane was seen flying over the
collapsed guest house at four different times on
Friday morning — 11: 30 a.m, 11: 43 a.m, 11:45
a.m and 11: 54 a.m.
The building collapsed at 12:44 p.m Friday
afternoon.
PREMIUM TIMES was unable to authenticate the
footage, and it remains unclear whether there is
indeed a relationship between the flying aircraft
and the collapse of the building.
But in his speech, Mr. Joshua insisted the aircraft,
which flew past almost an hour before the
incident, was responsible for the collapse of the
building.
The pastor said he was the target of the attack.
“Immediately I left the prayer room (which is a
10-minute drive form the church) for the church, I
got a call that a jet was hovering over the prayer
room but as I finished bathing and moved to the
prayer room, I got another call that the jet has
moved to the church and that was it,” Mr. Joshua
said.
“Members cannot be the target, the easier way to
stop this church is to get the head and from my
explanation, you know the truth,” he added.
Mr. Joshua called on security agents to study the
CCTV footage as they investigate the incident.
He promised to speak further on the incident
during service on Sunday.
“Service will hold tomorrow and I will state my
position tomorrow in service, you can watch it live
on Emmanuel TV,” he said.
He also apologised to the press following the
hostile treatment of journalists by members of his
church.
“We are very sorry on their behalf,” he said. “Our
members are not hostile. The Bible is our
standard. Even the Bible today, without the press,
it cannot be accessible to many. Our members
have respect for the press. When we fight the
press, we are fighting Emmanuel TV. They value
you people.”
Meanwhile, rescue operations at the site of the
collapsed hotel is still going on.
Authorities of the National Emergency
Management Association, NEMA, said 17 people
died in the incident while 123 others were rescued
alive.
Speaking on the attitude of church members,
NEMA spokesperson, Ibrahim Farinloye, said,
“They are not too hostile neither are they
receptive. We handled the equipment while they
handled crowd control.”
As at 5:50 p.m. when our reporter left the scene,
ambulances were still rushing rescued victims to
the nearby Igando General Hospital.
The church members however remained hostile to
journalists despite the apology by Mr. Joshua.

God knows all

I am not sure if I should laugh or be thinking WTF.




so I'm gonna do both WTF??






its really a sad day when the death of 17 people is attributed to a toy aircraft.

I still don't understand what connects a flying aircraft and the collapse of his building.
Did a bomb or missile drop from the aircraft? Why did other buildings it flew over not collapse.

This is called "shifting blame" what's the correlation between a Jet,and his church,well it could be spiritual.

Oga TB,please take responsibility,no matter what,real men don't shy away from it.
