Synagogue Church of All Nations building collapse

Record summary

A multi-storey guesthouse at the Synagogue Church of All Nations collapsed in Lagos, killing more than 100 people, many of them foreign visitors. The church associated the disaster with spiritual attack and resisted aspects of official scrutiny, while investigators examined structural alteration, construction practice, and regulatory failures. The episode is a strong comparison lead because it connects a globally publicized prophetic ministry with tangible infrastructure, legal accountability, and competing explanations. Court proceedings, inquiry materials, and South African and Nigerian reporting provide documentary trails.
