LAGOS, NIGERIA (BNO NEWS) -- Sixty-seven South Africans died and scores were injured when a church building collapsed in the Nigerian city of Lagos last week, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday, indicating that the total number of casualties may be far higher than previously thought.
The accident happened at around 12:44 p.m. local time on Friday when a five-story guest house collapsed in the Lagos complex of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, which is headed by T. B. Joshua. Nigerian officials raised the death toll to 60 by Tuesday afternoon, but Zuma said no less than 67 South African nationals were among the victims.
