The terrorist attack alleged by Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua as the cause of a guest-house collapse in his church on Friday 12th September 2014 has taken a new development with the release of a picture claiming to reveal the ‘strange aircraft’ involved.
A Facebook post from ‘TB Joshua Ministries’ stated a South Africa visitor named Shadrack Mamzini to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) took a picture of the suspicious aircraft on the day of the tragic incident.

“While I was taking the last picture, I saw a very big aircraft,” said a statement attributed to

 Mamzini on Facebook. “It was something which w

as unusual in the way it looked. It did not look like a passenger pl

ane or an ordinary plane. My worry was that it was too low to the

building.”

Hercules-C130. said to be the aircraft model that flew close to the building in question

Joshua had earlier narrated on Sunday 14th September 2014 how a

‘strange airplane’ had flown over the building four times before its tr

agic collapse, accompanying CCTV footage showing the planes

movement.

“By the time the incident happened and the man of God spoke about it, I went back to check all the photos I had taken,” Mamzini continued.
“I zoomed in on this picture where I saw the aircraft clearly.”

Several online commentators quickly suggested on Facebook that the

aircraft in question was a military transport plane. Dele Cooke from

Scotland observed, “That is a C130 Hercules. The Americans used to p

ush trays of explosives out of the tailgate in Vietnam. The Nigerian A

ir Force owns a few.”

Patrick from Zambia corroborated this assertion. “This aircraft looks to me like a Hercules C-130 – the propellers are pretty obvious…
Investigative bodies need to look into this incident closely,” he advised.


Paul Cevis, an American insinuated the same. “If the noise of its 4 tu

rboprop engines did cause the catastrophe, they need to sue the bui

lder,” he commented.

An online Nigerian traffic update site, ‘Gidi-Traffic’ further tweeted how

‘a military plane’ was sighted in Ikotun coinciding with the time

of the deadly collapse.

Various clips showing the security footage of the shocking incident

made public by Joshua on Sunday have elicited a wide spectrum of

reactions, the most popular version viewed over 350,000 times on Y

ouTube already.

Multiple commentators drew similarities between the swift manner the church guesthouse collapsed with ‘controlled demolitions’.

“My German friends who are specialists in demolition of houses saw this and concluded immediately that it’s a “kontrollierte Sprengung” –
that was said in unison without hesitation,” one YouTube user known by the name Oxygen CX commented.

“This is a controlled demolition,” another YouTuber suggested. “The land underneath

 the building was cleared with explosives first in order for it

 to fall straight down.  I’m a mechanical engineer and can vouch for this

.”

In related events, a 48 hour ultimatum has been given to the Nigerian

government by The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) to m

ake public their investigations into the incident.

“The (SCOAN) location is far from any approach to the Ikeja or any ai

rport in Lagos hence it is abnormal for any plane to head for the

location at all,” the statement read, warning that the United Nations would

 be informed if findings were not unveiled transparently.

The SCOAN released an official statement early on Thursday 18th

September, commiserating with family members of the affected and st

ressing its commitment to ensure “survivors are rescued, attended to w

ith the best medical treatment, cared for in the most humane and h

ospitable manner and reunited with their families, while those who p

assed on – martyrs of the Kingdom of God – are retrieved, identified a

nd treated respectfully.”
