Bankole, A member of the media team of the Synagogue Church for All Nations who spoke with newsmen a few hours after the building gave way, said three helicopters were seen at about 1pm hovering above the building, which was under construction.
He added that one of the helicopters came close to the uncompleted building, noting that the building collapsed 20 minutes after the unidentified helicopters flew over the building. He said the building involved is standing between the two canteens of the church.
Bankole said as of 3pm, no fewer than 25 persons had been evacuated and taken to various hospitals including the General Hospitals at Isolo and Igando.
He explained that since the church was not envisaging the accident, the identification of the helicopters was not noted. He however did not confirm the number of casualties in the building collapse.
“We are still trying to understand what the mission of the helicopters was; we weren’t expecting the accident, so we didn’t pay attention so as to the identify the helicopters.”
