The Nigerian Police on Wednesday said the “strange aircraft” that allegedly hovered over the collapsed Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) building was a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) CH 130 Hercules.
A police witness, Olusola Agboyi (DSP) while testifying before Coroner Oyetade Komolafe yesterday, stated that the aircraft, which was on a circuit training mission, flew at very low altitude.
He said: “I recorded statements from 34 witnesses who claimed the aircraft was flying very low and had caused panic among residents of the Ikotun area.”
Agboyi stated that preliminary reports suggested the foreign guesthouse might have caved-in as a result of internal saboteurs-visitors or lodgers at the premises.
The witness, who said he led the team that investigated the collapse and was also a member of the Federal Government’s panel, posited that the saboteur, undetected, could have used explosives or chemical substances to bring down the building.
