A Police investigator, Superintendent Olusola Agoi today said
enquiries, which were still ongoing, had shown that the aircraft that hovered
on a certain guest house in Synagogue Church of All Nations on the 12thof
September that killed about 116 people including 81 South Africans was a
military plane, a coroner’s inquest was
told.
“We have found out that the aircraft belongs to the Nigerian
Air Force and was said to be on a circuit training mission at the time of the
incident. This was confirmed by the NAF,” Agoi told the hearing.
Before now, expert witnesses have already ruled out a blast
and said the plane which was flying at 1,100 feet was on the flight path to the
nearby Lagos airport and meant no harm.
Lagos State building inspector Olutoyin Ayinde, ha also said
on October 30th that based on the distance of the aircraft to the building, it
was practically impossible for the aircraft to cause the collapse. He also told the court that the guesthouse
did not have planning permission and that inspections had found that several
other structures on the SCOAN site were structurally unsound, before the
reports of the police today.
