founder and General overseer of
the Synagogue Church of All Nations,
Prophet T. B. Joshua has said Boko
Haram may be responsible for the
collapse of a six-storey building in the
church premises.
Joshua, who told members of his
church on Sunday not to be afraid, said
the attack was targeted at him and not
at them.
The prophet made it clear that the
collapse of the six-storey building at
around 11.45am on Friday which led to
the death of no fewer than 16 persons
was a Boko Haram attack.
Joshua buttressed his claim by
showing to his congregation on the
Emmanuel TV the chronology of
events shortly before and after the
accident as captured by the church’s
CCTV.
He said, “I received a phone call
immediately I got here, just 10
minutes later when I was in the
church, that there was a jet hovering
over the mountain where I had just
left. They said it was hovering at a
close range. Before I knew it, I
received another phone call that the
same jet was now at the church
hovering over the building, passing it
four times at a very close range before
the building collapsed.”
Joshua read to the church a letter
which he said was addressed to him
by a Boko Haram member, confessing
how he had attempted to plant a bomb
inside the church.
Joshua said his church was being
attacked to scare away members.
“This environment at Ikotun Egbe, we
have never witnessed an accident of a
building collapse. This is a very
stable terrain. I have been here for the
past 30 years. I am pregnant with
words, but we have left the security
agencies to do their job. Let us
believe and educate our people and be
alive.”
Assuring his congregation that God
would bring the perpetrators of the
attack to book, Joshua said that the
decision of the insurgents to focus on
his church might be the end of the
Boko Haram’s activities in the
country.
He said,“I know you will ask why the
church? It is because of the spiritual
blessings that God has bestowed upon
us. A big head wears a large hat.
“Don’t forget about the Ebola issue
too, it was God that rescued the
church. Probably they would have
dropped an Ebola patient inside the
church, so that they would said, ‘there
is an Ebola patient in the church, don’t
go there.’
“They are trying to scare you from
coming to church. Don’t be scared,
you are not the target, I’m the target. I
know my time has not yet come. I
have not yet finished my job.
“I want to assure you that our God will
get back at them and you will know
when he gets back to them. May be
this would be the end of the whole
thing.”
Meanwhile, the death toll had
officially risen to 44, while 130 people
were said to have been rescued alive.
The National Emergency Management
Agency on Sunday said that 44 dead
bodies had been recovered, while 130
people trapped in the collapsed
Synagogue building had so far been
rescued.
The Public Relations Officer of NEMA,
Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed this
via a text message to our
correspondents.
Farinloye, however, told the News
Agency of Nigeria that 80 per cent of
people rescued from the collapse
building were women.
He said that two female children, aged
four and eight years, were among
those rescued from the building.

Mtcheew

The saddest sadness of this sad incidence is that some irrevocably stupid nincompoop would still believe this. Even educated folks.

Goes to show you how we deserve the leaders we get.


Frawzey

A church building collapsed due to incompetence from the contractors and all the pastor could say is to accuse boko haram for masterminding the attack. I thought they say this man sees vision, how come he didn't sense the attack on his own household. This country is just full of mediocres without any sense of reasoning and the acclaimed man of God is not excluded.

In all what he said there is no atom of sympathy for the people that lost their lives and the injured.

"They are trying to scare you from
coming to church. Don’t be scared,
you are not the target, I’m the target"

The bold is where his interest is.

Pathetic! Shameful!!

Nah till I wear camouflage nd boot, com rub charcoal 4 my face u go kno say I confident abii..

COCK and BULL STORY....
......HE sees FAR but cant see NEAR....

......SYNAGOGUE now has AIRPORTS.....HOPE it still has CONTROL TOWER....

.....80% WOMEN..meanwhile i was expecting 100% because WOMEN HARDLY HAVE PROBLEMS and exercise PATIENCE.

.....BOKO HARAM don SUFFER.

.....WE DISTURB GOD a lot in this nation.
1) GOD cant DWELL...in a DARK COUNTRY....(HE MADE LIGHT B4 anything).

2)HE cant DWELL in a DIRTY NATION ...because CLEANLINESS is next to GODLINESS...

3)HE cant DWELL because CORRUPTION is our SLOGAN...

with book haram taking Nigerian jets why do you people believe its lies because your pastors cannot do what TB Joshua does smh
some boko members where at his church with the bomb vest etc they planned on using if the building did not collapse would you have known that previously they where plans to destroy his buildings?
the cases where reported to the police and military but they did nothing believing it was lies anyway at the start of the year he already told us this year was a year of crossing the bridge and that we should prepare for this stuff but its no problem if you don't care or believe just don't bad mouth him after all not everyone must make heaven

Do we have air traffic controllers in Lagos at all? Do we have air security or our air space is just as porous as our land borders?

Why hasn't the aicraft sighted been identified and its owners questions? If na so e easy to willy nilly, fly fly around Nigeria, then we are in bigger trouble than we realize. SMH

dridowu: i 8 rubbish news like ds. He sees vision about others but he can't see his own.
Mtcheew

He saw it...

slap1: Buildings fall, especially in Lagos. Why make excuses for his?

because no building has collapsed in that area for more than 30 years he has been there
and he saw plans by boko to attack the church he reported to police and military but they shrugged it off
