Barely seven days to the commencement of the coroner’s inquest instituted by the Lagos State Government to establish the cause and manner of the recent collapse of a building within the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, Ikotun Egbe, Lagos, the church yesterday, released another video clip to establish its continued position that the building collapsed as a result of what it called controlled demolition.
A statement by Mrs. Bola Akingbade, spokesperson of the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, said the inquest would commence on October 13 and would take place at the Ikeja High Court presided over by Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe.
In the two minutes and 20 seconds video titled Controlled Demolition Versus Collapse By Structural Failure, posted on its Facebook page, TB Joshua Ministries showed clips of at least 19 buildings across the globe that purportedly collapsed as a result of controlled demolition, as well as structural failure.
The video clip showed 11 buildings caving-in completely without cracks, but with the sound-bite of a blast. Also, the collapse did not affect other surrounding buildings but the targeted building. However, eight other buildings did not cave-in completely, but had cracks and bending to the left or right with no blast heard.
Ken Emeakayi, a member of the Emmanuel TV Partners owned by SCOAN, during an interview on September 29 on a local television station, had refuted claims that the building collapsed as a result of structural failure.
Emeakayi, who argued that the collapse was not unconnected with a controlled demolition said: “On that fateful day, as it is customary with Prophet T.B. Joshua, that he will always be at the prayer mountain early every day, he went to the prayer mountain that day, but later left there unceremoniously and unannounced. After leaving the prayer mountain, this aircraft was seen hovering around the prayer mountain at a very low altitude. So, when he (Joshua) was called, he told the caller that he had already left the prayer mountain and had returned to the church.
“After he had left the prayer mountain, the same aircraft was sighted hovering around the church premises by 11.30am, about 40 feet from the building. After hovering the first time, it came back five minutes later and 9 minutes later. It continued like this four times. The CCTV got it very clear, because it is all over the church premises. It was after the fourth time that the building collapsed and the aircraft never came back.”
Asked what was written on the aircraft, he said: “That is the issue, that is what we want to know. We could not from that point see what was written on the aircraft. Like I said, when we watched through this clip, you could see that it was the same aircraft. And some air staff living around that vicinity that have watched the clips, have actually told us the make of the aircraft and what it looks like. This is why we have written an open letter to the President of this country, we are asking for an inquiry into this incident.
“Because from the clips captured by all the CCTV cameras, it has become obvious that this building never collapsed on its own. This is what we can call a controlled demolition. When this building went down, other surrounding buildings never had any crack, but just this one, and that is why we said it is a controlled demolition.
“To buttress this fact, we have been able to get clips of controlled demolition across the world, to show similarities. Controlled demolition, is a new technology that you can isolate a building in an area, bring it down, without any other surrounding building being affected. Our interest is that we are requesting for a holistic inquiry from government, so that the world will know what happened.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Controlled demolition....that's laughable.
ReplyDeleteSo the aircraft performed the demolition while 'hovering' over the building with people inside it.
Do they even know what controlled demolition's about? Or any kind of demolition for that matter?
Controlled demolition involves putting explosive charges on the main supporting structures of the building (usually the main foundation pillars). It takes a long time to achieve this and it has to be carried out physically on the building before the charges are detonated remotely. The question now is; who put those charges on the building, how was that achieved from within the compound without the church authority's knowledge? I think the church should be careful what they put out or people might begin to think they know more about the collapse than they are telling us. Why try so hard to convince us on the cause when there's an inquest coming up.

ReplyDeleteI find it strange that the church is expending so much energy trying to convice the world that it was an act of sabotage. They should allow the investigation to conclude first. Like you said... controlled demolition involves setting explosive charges on the supporting pillars before remote detonation. But the fish brain trying so hard to exonerate the church is making it more suspicious. If its controlled demolition, who set the charges without anyone seeing them? I think the church should keep quiet and allow "experts" determine the cause of the collapse and let leave that "strange" aircraft story aside.
DeleteNa lie. It pains me that quarks even in their professed fields are now into making empty conclusions on something they know nothing about. How can this man sleep at night! This so called man of God has gone too far.
ReplyDeleteOga TB do you remember the Ikeja bomb blast incidence? if you hear gun shot alone u will differentiate it from other sound how much more bomb. More ppl died hearing the sound of that explosion than those who witnessed it. If there was any explosive detonation in ur building that was heavier than it's foundation, ppl will be talking of a blast not a collapsed building. Sorry u can continue to fool ur congregation, but this is too big for a man with ur level of intelligence to be able to fool the world. If ur hands were clean, you would be remorseful over the incidence and wait for the various agency to do their findings and tell you and the public what caused the collapse if you are sure you have all the necessary approvals and building specifications met, than u telling us a strange plane hovered, controlled demolition occurred ,threatening fire and brim stone on who ever questioned the solidity and compliance of the building.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you want to be the judge and the jury and even be the accused at the sane time. We're waiting to see if the government will tell us we don't have forensic experts that can quickly come out and tell us what actually happened before this man makes us loose our temper.
