Scores Die in Nigerian Building Collapse

President Jacob Zuma of South Africa has announced that 67 South Africans were among the dead when a building collapsed in the grounds of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos. The Lagos state government could not confirm any document approving construction work on the premises, while the head of the church, Pastor TB Joshua, linked the deadly collapse to a "strange aircraft".
