Boko Haram Attacked Our Building - T.B Joshua

 
Joshua, who told members of his church on
Sunday not to be afraid, said the attack was
targeted at him and not at them.

The prophet made it clear that the collapse of
the six-storey building at around 11.45am on
Friday which led to the death of no fewer than
16 persons was a Boko Haram attack.

Joshua buttressed his claim by showing to his
congregation on the Emmanuel TV the
chronology of events shortly before and after
the accident as captured by the church’s CCTV. He said, “I received a phone call immediately I
got here, just 10 minutes later when I was in
the church, that there was a jet hovering over
the mountain where I had just left.

They said it
was hovering at a close range. Before I knew
it, I received another phone call that the same jet was now at the church hovering over the
building, passing it four times at a very close
range before the building collapsed.”

Joshua read to the church a letter which he
said was addressed to him by a Boko Haram
member, confessing how he had attempted to
plant a bomb inside the church. Joshua said his church was being attacked to
scare away members.

“This environment at Ikotun Egbe, we have
never witnessed an accident of a building
collapse. This is a very stable terrain.

I have
been here for the past 30 years.

I am pregnant
with words, but we have left the security
agencies to do their job.

Let us believe and educate our people and be alive.”

Assuring his congregation that God would
bring the perpetrators of the attack to book,
Joshua said that the decision of the insurgents
to focus on his church might be the end of the
Boko Haram’s activities in the country.

He said,“I know you will ask why the church?
It is because of the spiritual blessings that God
has bestowed upon us.

A big head wears a
large hat.

“Don’t forget about the Ebola issue too, it was
God that rescued the church.
Probably they
would have dropped an Ebola patient inside
the church, so that they would said, ‘there is an
Ebola patient in the church, don’t go there.’

“They are trying to scare you from coming to
church.

Don’t be scared, you are not the target,
I’m the target.

I know my time has not yet
come.

I have not yet finished my job.

“I want to assure you that our God will get
back at them and you will know when he gets
back to them.

May be this would be the end of
the whole thing.”

Meanwhile, the death toll had officially risen to
44, while 130 people were said to have been
rescued alive.
The National Emergency Management Agency
on Sunday said that 44 dead bodies had been
recovered, while 130 people trapped in the
collapsed Synagogue building had so far been
rescued.

The Public Relations Officer of NEMA, Mr.
Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed this via a text
message to our correspondents.

Farinloye, however, told the News Agency of
Nigeria that 80 per cent of people rescued from
the collapse building were women.

He said that two female children, aged four and
eight years, were among those rescued from
the building
