Exactly a year after 116 people died at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua founder of church will today (Saturday) hold a memorial service in honour of the victims.
The building collapsed on September 12, 2014 in the Ikotun area of Lagos and 116 people, mostly South Africans, died inside the collapsed six-storey guest house owned by SCOAN.
In a statement, the church said the memorial service, which is to commemorate the first anniversary of the unfortunate incident, would hold in South Africa. Prophet T.B Joshua had already sent a delegation from Nigeria to take part in activities leading to the memorial.
T.B. Joshua, who described the deceased as Martyrs of Faith, maintained that they were on an
appointment with God when they met their death and therefore believes that they did not die in vain.
He however called on the entire SCOAN family all over the world to join forces to pray for the repose of the souls of their departed.
