A C130 Hercules Aircraft belonging to the Nigerian Air Force has been linked to the synagogue church guest house building collapse that killed many victims on September 12, 2014.
According to a witness, the accident occured after the aircraft flew over the six story building multiple times.
The witness Engineer Yakubu Dazhia presently a consultant to the senate committee on aviation and also to National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) told Justice Lawal Lateef Akapo of the Lagos State High Court, at Igbosere, at the weekend, that he and other pilots studied the scenario through the close-circuit television (CCTV) and confirmed that the pilot of the military aircraft who was carrying some officers on training that fateful day flew below the standard altitude across the tall building which led to its collapse.
According to him, an aircraft is expected to fly minimum of 1000 feet or 300metres in congested area with tallest object or building.
The Lagos State government has sued the church over the collapse of the building.
The case was adjourned to March 14, 2019.
