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.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
