The Homicide Department of the State Criminal
Investigation Department, Panti, Lagos, has
submitted that the Synagogue six-storey
building could have been felled by a techique
termed controlled demolition. According to the
SCID, controlled demolition is when a building is
felled using chemical or electronic device.The
position of the SCID was given by the Head,
Homicide Investigation and Crime Scene
Management at Panti, DSP Olusola Agoyi.
Agoyi testified on Wednesday at the resumed
sitting of the coroner, Magistrate O.A.
Komolafe, probing the cause of the September
12 tragedy.The accident claimed no fewer than
116 lives.Agoyi, in his testimony, said the speed
and the rate at which the Synagogue building
caved in, coupled with some dust-like smoke
that followed were peculiar elements seen only
in a building felled by controlled demolition.
He said, "My Lord, when you use chemical or
electronic device to bring down a building, it is
controlled demolition."I found out from the
CCTV that the rate and the speed of the fall of
the building within seconds was just like that of
a controlled demolition.
"Aside that, the CCTV 3 captured some dust-
like smoke coming out of the collapsed
building."Further lending weight to his claim,
Agoyi referred the coroner to the oral account
of one of the 34 survivors that he said were
interviewed in the course of his intelligent
findings."
The panel also interviewed one Taiwo Temitayo
Taiwo, aged 28 years, one of the surviving
victims of the collapsed building and I quote,
'Immediately the building was coming down,
what I saw or heard was like a thunderous
lightning accompanied with a sound, hitting the
wall as if someone was using a saw to cut an
iron, then the house collapsed,'" Agoyi
