The founder of the Synagogue Church of All
Nations, Prophet T.B. Joshua yesterday asked
the Lagos state High Court in Ikeja to stop
proceedings of the coroner inquest set up by
the Lagos state govt to look into the
circumstances that led to his church's
building collapse on Sept. 12th which killed
116.
T.B Joshua, who filed the appeal through his
counsel, Olalekan, Ojo, also asked the court to
declare that his invitation to appear as a
witness before the coroner was a breach of his
right to fair hearing, as no case had been
established against him before the coroner.
T.B Joshua who was supposed to appear
before the coroner yesterday, through his
counsel, asked the coroner to suspend
proceedings pending the outcome of the case
he just filed against it which is to be called up
for hearing on December 3rd.
The coroner, Magistrate O.A. Komolafe
however declined his request saying no one
had served him court document to that effect.
