Former governor of Abia State and Chairman/Publisher of The Sun Newspapers, Dr. Orji Kalu, yesterday joined millions of Nigerians to mourn the death of over 50 persons in a collapsed building belonging to Synagogue Church for All Nations in Lagos.
In a statement issued in Lagos, Dr. Kalu noted “with tremendous concern and sorrow,” the tragic foundation collapse at the popular church.
The eminent businessman, in the statement, which he personally signed, urged that should any foul play be involved in the collapsed church building as being insinuated, those behind it should face the law.
His words: “While the root cause of the collapse has yet to be determined, should any foul play be found as has been suggested, let the perpetrators be brought to justice swiftly and accordingly.
“Until more is gathered, our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the fallen. To those injured, we wish you a speedy recovery and a return to your chosen place of reverence in the immediate term.”
Kalu revealed that he recently visited Pastor T.B. Joshua and attested that the, “religious domicile of which he founded, served and no doubt will continue to serve as a safe haven for Nigeria’s diverse multitude of citizens, those from all walks of life.” The former governor noted that people from distinct ethnicities, cultures, tribal allegiances and creeds would again be granted a place of solemn worship and together engage in joyful celebration in the working of the Lord.
