The Lagos State Government has moved against the popular Synagogue Church of All Nations, Ikotun, due to the collapse of one of its buildings last week killing scores of people including a 10-year-old child with many others critically injured.
The building, which was under
construction, was initially a two-storey building before the addition of four new floors which were under construction.
As of Thursday, the death toll in the
building collapse hit 80, among which 67 were South Africans.
The Lagos State Building Control Agency has, therefore, marked the main building of the church, asking for relevant documents to prove its
structural integrity.
The General Manager, Lagos State
Building Control Agency, Mrs. Abimbola Animashaun-Odunayo, confirmed that the building had been marked by the agency, said it had requested that the church provides some documents, adding that a structural integrity test would be carried out on all the buildings in the church complex.
She said that the 'X’, mark on the building, does not mean demolition; it is for structural integrity test to be carried out on the building and the church is expected to provide all the documents for approval and the church has three months to do this.
