Obanikoro Visits Synagogue Church, Says Investigation Underway

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on Friday said the government was already investigating the aircraft which was alleged to have hovered over SCOAN building before it collapsed. Members of the church are blaming the collapse of the building on the mystery aircraft.

Obanikoro revealed this when he paid a condolence visit to the SCOAN at Ikotun-Egbe, in Lagos.

“We must not pre-empt the outcome of the investigation,” the minister said.

“The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the police and the police will do all it can to conclude investigations swiftly.

“My appeal is that people should wait for the outcome of the investigation.” he said.

“Human lives are involved and so the issue must not be trivialised or politicised.

“I am here to commisserate with the Church and all the people that lost their lives” the Miinister said.

He, urged journalists to be mindful of what they write while reporting the incident.

“We must remember that the families of those that died are there and so we must try not to hurt them more with our reportage.
