Synagogue: 17 of our people still missing, says S’Africa
As rescue work at the scene of last Friday’s collapsed building used as
guest house by the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN was concluded
yesterday, the South African government said 17 of its nationals were
still unaccounted for.
This is just as SCOAN has remained silent on the identities and number of persons who lodged in the building, but insisted that the attack was targeted at its Senior Pastor, Prophet Temitope Joshua.
Thus, the official number of lives that perished in the five storey
building which collapsed at 12.44pm, is 80, while the survivors were
131, according to the National Emergency Management Authority.
This
is just as SCOAN finally released an official statement yesterday,
maintaining that the tragedy occurred shortly after a plane which flew
very low, hovered round the building.
Indication also emerged that
some o f the survivors have been discharged from the hospitals and have
returned to their respective abodes.
It was learnt that DNA tests
would first be conducted on some of the decomposed bodies with a view to
ascertaining their true identities.
Our source reliably gathered
that there are plans to fly the remains of foreign victims to their
respective countries. As at yesterday, arrangements on how this would be
done was reportedly going on between authorities of the countries
concerned and SCOAN.
Among the countries is South Africa.
South Africa’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Mnguni, was quoted
byAFPas saying that 17 of his compatriots were unaccounted for and that
the church had set up a hotline in Johannesburg for concerned relatives.
