Joshua covered up Lagos building collapse – BBC
The BBC’s three-part documentary published on its official YouTube page featured several former SCOAN members.

The BBC alleged that TB Joshua covered up the fatal Lagos building collapse.

Building collapse at Joshua’s SCOAN
On September 12, 2014, a guesthouse at SCOAN’s compound in Lagos collapsed, killing about 116 people, of whom 84 were South Africans.
BBC said Joshua intimidated family members of the deceased to cover up his alleged role in the fatal collapse.
Joshua has linked the tragedy to a strange aircraft “hovering” above the building shortly before it collapsed. A video was released on YouTube that showed an alleged drone hovering around the building before its collapse. However, authorities in Lagos attributed the incident to structural failure.
Legit.ng reports that the collapse is one of the worst disasters to ever strike a place of worship in Africa.
Insiders from TB Joshua’s SCOAN presented evidence of what caused the incident nearly 10 years ago.
It comes after alleged evidence uncovered by the BBC showed TB Joshua, the founder of one of the world’s biggest Christian evangelical churches, reportedly caused widespread abuse and torture.
