Pastor T.B. Joshua yesterday blamed the collapse of a building at his Synagogue Church of All Nations, on terror attack.
The pastor said this after the church showed a clip taken from CCTV footage showing events that took place before and after the six-storey building collapsed.
From the footage, a plane was seen hovering in the sky four times-11:30 am, 11:43 am, 11:45 am and 11:54 am- before the building went down without something extraneous triggering it.
After the plane hovered the fourth time in the sky, the structure collapsed at exactly 12:44 pm.
In his explanation after showing the footage, Joshua said the building might have collapsed as a result of terror attack.
“In few weeks, the truth behind the collapsed building will be revealed. The last time the Boko Haram issue occurred, some journalists and the police were against the church, but, after some weeks, the truth behind the attack was revealed.”
On why he didn’t address journalists immediately on Friday, the Synagogue of All Nations leader said, “I do not want to put fear in the mind of Nigerians. We are still battling with the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD. That is why I decided to delay my comment till now.”
He asked journalists present to analyze the CCTV footage and come to their own conclusion as to what might have happened.
Joshua argued that the building of such solid foundation would not have collapsed in the manner that the six-storey building came down.
He continued, “I was at the mountain, yesterday, where I went to pray. After praying, I slept off. The place is about five minutes drive from here. While there, my members called me to say there was a plane trying to land. I told them not to worry that only a helicopter could land, but they said they were worried as it was coming too close to the building, that maybe it was taking picture
“The same jet went around Ikotun. To our surprise, after flying round Ikotun, it now came back on top of this building four times, it’s here they would show you. As we are talking now, there is a surveillance camera in here. We have a role to play, we cannot leave everything to God.”
