    The total number of deaths recorded at the Synagogue Church of all Nation (SCOAN) has been put to 115. From the total figure, 84 are South Africans, a South African minister said Monday, citing sources in Lagos.

“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, the minister in charge of Pretoria’s response to the disaster, told reporters. There were only 25 who actually boarded the aircraft because one returned to the synagogue yesterday,It’s the biggest evacuation effort by the (South African) Air Force since the dawn of democracy,” two decades ago,” said Radebe.

       A 19-member medical team including specialised doctors, nurses and medical military paramedics took care of the injured on board a military C-130 aircraft said Radebe.

Two orphaned toddlers – that lost their parents in the tragedy – were among the survivors that returned on Monday.
