The ‘strange aircraft’
that supposedly hovered over the collapsed Synagogue Church of All
Nations (SCOAN) building belonged to a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) CH 130
Hercules, the police said.
Olusola Agboyi (DSP), a police witness, told the
Coroner Oyetade
Komolafe that the plane which was on a circuit training mission flew at
very low height.
The witness said, “I recorded statements from 34 witnesses who
claimed the aircraft was flying very low and had caused panic among
residents of the Ikotun area.”
Agboyi noticed that preface reports suggested the foreign guest house
might have caved-in as an effect of inner saboteurs-visitors or lodgers
at the grouns.
According to him the saboteur, could have used explosives or chemical substances to collapse the building.
One of the survivors, Taiwo Temitayo Taiwo, while being interviewed,
claimed he heard a deafening noise and saw lightening moments before the
building came down.
The witness said he led the team that investigated the collapse and was also a member of the Federal Government’s panel.
Agboyi, meanwhile, mentioned that the police did not exclude the
option of building defect but had not get an answer to the letter the
agency wrote to the Lagos State Ministry of Works asking a test on
materials used at the site.
The State Governor, Babatunde Fashola,has recently confirmed the
repatriation of 54 dead bodies of South Africans who were among the 116
that died in the incident two months after the collapse of a guest house belonging to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Ikotun area of Lagos state.
