Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe on Tuesday fixed July 8 for judgment on the inquest into the collapse of a building within the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nation (SCOAN).
The incident killed over 110 persons.
SCOAN founder, Prophet T. B. Joshua, on Sunday- 14th September 2014 played to his congregation and Emmanuel TV viewers worldwide a footage captured by security cameras of the horrific moment before the guest-house collapsed within the church premises.
He has continued to insist that a “strange airplane” that hovered around the building caused the collapse.
But former Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Development and Urban Planning, Toyin Ayinde Adedamola, had told the coroner’s court headed by Chief Magistrate, Oyetade Komolafe, that that 6-storey building does not have any approval from the state government.
However, a Biedomo Iguniewei, a weapon researcher, told the same court that high infrasonic radiation attack was the cause of the collapse.
The coroner had asked Iguniewei, who claimed to have adopted the Synagogue incident as his academic project, to furnish the court with papers. The independent consultant, who claimed to be a post-graduate student of Explosives and Material Science at the Nigerian Defence Academy, had suggested that the aircraft that reportedly hovered above the church shortly before the building came down could have fired infrasonic radiations at the building. He added that he was in a position to reach such a conclusion based on his six-year experience with the Nigerian Defence Academy. According to Iguniewei, an infrasound is a type of sound measuring below 20Hz, which is below what the normal human ear can detect. He said, “The striking thing about infrasound is that you cannot hear it and you cannot see it but it causes remarkable vibrations when used as a weapon” “Those of us who work with the security know that weapons are produced and they are always looking for where to test them. “I am of the opinion that what happened that day, especially with the strange plane-like objects seen in the video, was that an infrasonic radiation was fired at the building; and if you observe, you will discover that it took about 30 minutes for the building to come down. “It is important for this court to be aware of this option but why it could have been used here is another matter entirely. “But since I have been pondering why a building would collapse the way this one did, this is the most plausible explanation for me.”
