SCOAN TB Joshua: "Other forces were at work"

The Synagogue Church of All Nations says its members have ‘nothing to hide’ in the deadly collapse of its Lagos guesthouse. The Nigerian tragedy in September saw the death of 116 people, majority being South Africans. The church has rejected an inquiry’s findings that it be investigated and face criminal prosecution for neglecting to obtain the proper planning approval before construction started.

The church’s Bally Chuene says other forces were at work in the tragedy and the world won’t understand this.
“The devil was at work from a spiritual perspective. But let’s come to your physical world; the coroner completely ignored the fact that the building collapsed in under four seconds and not one particular beam that stood.”

The church says the Nigerian coroner’s verdict is “irrational” and the inquiry excluded crucial evidence which clearly points to sabotage.

Chuene says the guest house collapsed due to a “spiritual” intervention.

“You hear some of the family members who are spiritually enlightened, how the death of their martyrs has had a significant spiritual impact and what they’ve seen from their vision. From a spiritual perspective you get to understand.”

The church says CCTV footage of a plane that flew close to the guest house minutes before it caved in was never considered before the coroner reached a conclusion.
