I am not sure when we will stop having conflicting reports in
the news but I am gono post this anyway. According to South African minister, Jeff Radebe today Sept. 22nd,
the death toll from the Synagogue building collapse has risen to 115. The minister
stated this at an airforce base, North of Johannesburg in South Africa where 25
South Africans injured in the collapsed building were brought home for treatment.
He also maintained that 84 South Africans unfortunately died in the tragedy.
"We understand from our assessment team that the total
number of people who have perished is now 115, but those are not all South
Africans. South Africans are about 84 that have died" Jeff Radebe told
reporters.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Emergency Management Agency, NEMA,
put the death toll from the collapse at 86. Now what exactly is true?
A 19-member medical team which included specialist doctors,
nurses and medical military paramedics took care of the injured on board the military
C-130 aircraft. Two orphaned toddlers whose parents died in the tragedy were
among those that returned today.
I also read in the press release from the church that the
deceased were martyrs. Hmm isn’t martyrdom supposed to be willingly? I reserve
my comments but I’ll suggest we put reason before religion.
Anyway, please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.
