A major church led by world-renowned pastor TB Joshua has collapsed in Nigeria, killing 41 and injuring many others.
Rescuers managed to pull around 130 people from the rubble of a guest house being built at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations in Lagos on Friday 12th September.
The five-storey evangelical church was under construction at the time and TB Joshua was not inside.
It is reported that members of the church initially refused to allow emergency services access to the site, but the government says they joined the rescue mission on Saturday.
The reason for the collapse is unclear.
