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.
