No update as to when bodies will be returned following Lagos building collapse


 There is still no news on when the bodies of more than 80 South Africans killed in a building collapse in Nigeria, will arrive in South Africa.

Government spokesperson, Phumla Williams says the laboratory in Lagos has not given them an update.

She said once they get new information on those killed when the Synagogue Church of all Nations building collapse, a media briefing would be called.

On October 12, City Press quoted a Nigerian medical examiner as saying the bodies would be home by the end of the month.

A 116 people, among them 84 South Africans, were killed when a multi-storey guesthouse attached to the church collapsed in Lagos on 12 September.

The church is run by Nigerian preacher TB Joshua.

An inquest into the deaths began in mid-October in Nigeria.
