Synagogue building felled by controlled demolition -Police - November 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

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.

Israel has today destroyed the home of a Palestinian who last month ran over and killed two people at a Jerusalem tram stop.

The demolition comes a day after two militants killed four rabbis and a policeman at a synagogue in the city.

Israels prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered the demolition of the homes of those involved in that attack.

Mr Netanyahu announced the directive after a meeting top security officials. He did not say when the demolitions following yesterdays attack would take place.

The home of Abdel-Rahman Shaloudi (21), was blown up before dawn, police and the military said.

East Jerusalem resident Shaloudi had been shot dead by police as he tried to flee after mowing down commuters at a light railway stop on October 23rd.

A three-month-old baby who was a US citizen and a 22-year-old tourist from Ecuador were killed when he rammed the tram stop with his car. Seven other people were injured.

Shaloudis home in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan, adjacent to the old walled city, has been a scene of confrontation since the incident, which his family had termed a traffic incident.
