“We are investigating the incident for the world to know what actually happened. When you look at the clip you will see that it was not just the aircraft hovering. At the point of the incident, there was explosion. It is possible they were either dropped or planted and the aircraft will have to come and detonate it. The persons in the building said that the noise they heard suggested that it was an explosion. Those involved in the act may not have been aware of the security cameras.
“With modern technologies
explosive devices could be detonated without a loud noise.
There were about four
explosives that were detonated in the building from the much the CCTV could
capture and because we know that there would be fragments from the explosive we
are calling for an investigation,”
The Emmanuel TV spokesman
said that the presiding priest, Prophet TB Joshua, could have been the target,
explaining that the incident occurred after the same strange aircraft had
hovered around a prayer ground where the pastor usually holds prayer sessions
in the morning.
“A strange helicopter was
hovering around the prayer mountain when the man of God was there. It was the
time he was supposed to be at the mountain but he had left. They thought he was
still there but he has gone back to the church.
“After the man of God left
the prayer mountain, this same aircraft came to the church premises. The first
time it was sighted was at 11:30am local time at a very low altitude hovering
over this story building and we have clips. It was about 40 feet from the
building. The same aircraft hovered about four times. At an interval of nine
minutes, five minutes,”
Mr Emeakayi said that the church had submitted
the video clips to security agencies for investigation but that they had not
received any news about how far the investigation had gone.
He dismissed allegations
that the construction of the building did not follow standard rules, stressing
that the church had followed every requirement.
There have been rumours
that the approval for the building was for a fewer number of floors, but Mr
Emeakayi said that the church had approval to erect a 12-story building in the
place but had only stopped at six floors.
Contrary to the claims of
the spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency south-west region,
Ibrahim Farinloye, that members of the church prevented the agency from gaining
access into were the building was, Mr Emeakayi said that the persons referred
to as members of the church must be sympathisers.
