The General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua, has insisted that the collapse of the building in his premises was the handiwork of terrorists far more dangerous than the Boko Haram sect.
Prophet Joshua, who stated this yesterday in a monitored transmission on Emmanuel TV while speaking to the members of the church on the cause of the disaster, called for the replay of the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) in the premises which showed the aircraft which severally hovered at a close distance above the building minutes before the incident.
He stated that the target of the attack was not just the church but the nationals who attended the church from all over the world, especially South Africa.
Comparing the guest house collapse with those of structured demolition of buildings carried out in some foreign countries, he stated that the thick cloud which enveloped the entire structure when it caved in was due to oxidation similar to that seen structured demolition of houses.
He however noted that such structured demolition is not common in the country while explaining that if the building had collapsed out of structural defects it would not be a total cave in which no life or property was recovered.
He also disclosed that besides the CCTV, the police in the area had a record of the strange aircraft which hovered at a close range on top of the building before its collapse.
Prophet Joshua stated that he had predicted the collapse of the building before the incidence, demonstrating the replay of his previous preaching where he referred to collapse as a cloud that covered the country which he said was “already close to his mouth.”
In the video, he told the crowd that he wanted to travel to another country from Columbia but came back because he wanted to witness how the cloud would dispel.
In the video replay, he prayed to God that His will should be done while foretelling that it was a church member that would invite the CNN to cover the collapse of the church building, saying that it were Nigerians that destroy their own country.
He however stated that how the country will resolve the building collapse will determine whether or not the country will exist.
Condoling the congregation, Prophet Joshua stated that the agony and pain of the victims have made God to forgive them and given them the righteousness that ushered them into heaven.
On why he could not pray for the cancellation of the incidence which he told his members that he foresaw it, he stated that he merely prayed that the will of God be done because it seemed inevitable and beyond his control.
