OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE SYNAGOGUE, CHURCH OF ALL
NATIONS IN RESPECT OF THE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 INCIDENT.
"Emmanuel – God is with us.
"The pain of one is the pain of all. It is
indeed a sad and painful moment for the families and friends who have lost
loved ones. It is equally so for us in The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations
(The SCOAN), under the leadership of Prophet T.B. Joshua.
"On Friday, September 12, 2014, at about
12:44pm, one of the buildings on The SCOAN property
unexpectedly collapsed, tragically resulting in death and injury. Nigerians and
citizens of other nations were affected. This incident was preceded by the
appearance of a strange aircraft which flew very low over the building four times
and then disappeared.
"Since the day of this incident, The
Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, its members and partners, have worked in
collaboration with the Nigerian, South African and other nations’ authorities
to ensure that survivors are rescued, attended to with the best medical
treatment, cared for in the most humane and hospitable manner and reunited with
their families, while those who passed on - martyrs of the Kingdom of God - are
retrieved, identified and treated respectfully.
Amongst those we are working hand-in-hand with, are: The
Federal Government of Nigeria, the Government of the Republic of South Africa,
Lagos State Government, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the
Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the Lagos State Ministry of
Health - doctors and nurses, the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), the
Red Cross, the Nigeria Police Force and various Non-governmental and
humanitarian organisations and construction and engineering corporations.
"It is very sad that inaccurate reports are coming
from some quarters that we are not cooperating with the rescue teams and other
agencies in collating information and providing assistance on the incident.
Contrary to this, we want to categorically state that the
church has provided assistance when and where required and continues to do so -
good Christians are good citizens.
"We emphasise our commitment to cooperate with all
relevant authorities in establishing the cause of the collapse of the
building.
The church views this tragedy as part of an attack on The
Synagogue, Church Of All Nations and in particular, Prophet T.B. Joshua. In due
course, God will reveal the perpetrators of this unfortunate
tragedy.
"We wish to express our gratitude to all who
continue to work tirelessly, show their solidarity and share their condolences
in this grievous time, particularly all Government and non-Governmental bodies
mentioned above, Diplomatic Missions, National and International media houses,
society groups, traditional rulers, all concerned citizens and the residents of
our local community, Ikotun-Egbe.
We equally appreciate all members and partners of The SCOAN
and Emmanuel TV, along with Christians and clergy worldwide for their prayers
and support.
To all those who lost family members and loved ones,
please accept our heart-felt commiserations. No one knows by the present sign
or situation what the future holds. We must therefore live each day as if it
were our last and leave tomorrow’s trouble for the One who bore our troubles on
the cross. We thank God for the martyrs and we pray for the family members and
loved ones left behind."
