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.
