The source says church security staff, operating aggressively and threateningly, attacked emergency aid officials and smashed a Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) camera.

Speaking to SaharaReporters today, a source from the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said that they have withdrawn from the scene of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Ikotun, Lagos. 

The source says church 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.
