On 12 September 2014, a guesthouse located within the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) premises in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos State collapsed to the ground.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other emergency services were criticised for withholding information about the accident, and much remained unclear about the number of deaths and the nationalities of the victims.
The senior pastor of the church, TB Joshua, has linked the tragedy to a strange aircraft “hovering” above the building shortly before it collapsed.
However, the coroner’s report unequivocally found the cause to be structural failure.
The bodies of 74 South Africans killed in the Nigerian church collapse arrived in South Africa two months after the incident.
The verification of the mortal remains was the most difficult part, because of the gruesome nature of the accident, which made the identification process difficult.
