TB Joshua yesterday finally talked to journalists in a private session and blamed terror attack for the recent Synagogue guest house collapse which claimed 17 lives so far.
He was speaking to journalist in a session which cameras and all forms of electronic recordings were banned.
According to vanguard he also revealed a CCTV recording which showed events before and after the building collapsed.
According to the those who saw the video, a plane was seen hovering over the building four time from at 11:30 am, 11:43 am, 11:45 am and 11:54 am before the building collapsed with nothing triggering it.
At around 12:44 on the plane’s fourth trip over the building, the building then gave way and collapsed.
TB Joshua said: “In few weeks, the truth behind the collapsed building will be revealed. The last time the Boko Haram issue occurred, some journalists and the police were against the church, but, after some weeks, the truth behind the attack was revealed.
I do not want to put fear in the mind of Nigerians. We are still battling with the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD. That is why I decided to delay my comment till now.”

He said that it was uncommon for a building with a very solid foundation to just come down the way the six-storey building collapsed.
He said: “I was at the mountain, yesterday, where I went to pray. After praying, I slept off. The place is about five minutes drive from here. While there, my members called me to say there was a plane trying to land. I told them not to worry that only a helicopter could land, but they said they were worried as it was coming too close to the building, that maybe it was taking picture
“The same jet went around Ikotun. To our surprise, after flying round Ikotun, it now came back on top of this building four times, it’s here they would show you. As we are talking now, there is a surveillance camera in here. We have a role to play, we cannot leave everything to God.”
He also rejected the NEMA revelation that their men where stopped from working on the site and rescuing more individuals trapped in the fallen building.
He said that no one from his church attacked government officials, saying, “We know the importance of the rescue team and journalists. The pressmen are the mouth-piece of the public and I have a lot of regard for the media.”
UPDATE
