The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) said on Thursday that it had made a relief package worth N9 million accessible to help the Republic of Turkey in the wake of the earthquake that struck the nation earlier this month.
The Church claimed in a statement issued under the leadership of Pastor Evelyn Joshua on Thursday, that the donation was made to lessen the suffering of the victims

The church expresses remorse over the recent earthquake that damaged various areas of Turkey and Syria claiming numerous lives.

“In Turkey, some 4.6 million children living in the Turkish provinces were badly hit by the disaster leaving the country in disarray of a gigantic humanitarian needs.
“The Turkish community groups living on the UK particularly in Hackney and Haringey Boroughs of North London have since mobilised themselves into raising donations and relief items to Turkey,” the statement said.
