The founder and General overseer of the Synagogue
Church of All Nations, Prophet T. B. Joshua has said Boko Haram may be
responsible for the collapse of a six-storey building in the church premises.
As reported by the Punch newspaper, Joshua told
members of his church on Sunday not to be afraid, said the attack was targeted
at him and not at them.
The prophet made it clear that the collapse of
the six-storey building at around 11.45am on Friday which led to the death of
no fewer than 16 persons was a Boko Haram attack.
He said, “I received a phone call immediately I
got here, just 10 minutes later when I was in the church, that there was a jet
hovering over the mountain where I had just left. They said it was hovering at
a close range. Before I knew it, I received another phone call that the same
jet was now at the church hovering over the building, passing it four times at
a very close range before the building collapsed.”
Joshua read to the church a letter which he said
was addressed to him by a Boko Haram member, confessing how he had attempted to
plant a bomb inside the church.
Joshua said his church was being attacked to
scare away members.
“This environment at Ikotun Egbe, we have never
witnessed an accident of a building collapse. This is a very stable terrain. I
have been here for the past 30 years. I am pregnant with words, but we have
left the security agencies to do their job. Let us believe and educate our
people and be alive.”
