'Barbaric' Synagogue Officials Drive NEMA Away from Collapse Scene

 The Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) reportedly says they have withdrawn from the scene of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Ikotun, Lagos. According to Sahara Reporters, a source from NEMA told them that they (NEMA) had to leave after the church's security staff, operating aggressively and threateningly, attacked emergency aid officials and smashed a Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) camera.



Reasons for the "barbaric" behavior were unknown, but some speculated that the church may have been trying to cover up the real cause of the collapse. Others alleged Ebola virus disease patients were being kept there. See below, photos of the injured from the collapse.
