The
trustees of Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, will today be
arraigned before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja over the collapse of a
six-storey building in the church on September 12, 2014, which led to
the death of 116 persons.
TB Joshua-Synagogue Church
Senior Pastor of the church, Prophet T. B. Joshua is one of the trustees.
The trustees will be arraigned before Justice Lawal Akapo alongside the engineers that constructed the collapsed building.
A
statement by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos State
Ministry of Justice, Bola Akingbade, confirmed the scheduled
arraignment.
Justice
Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court in Lagos had dismissed the
fundamental human rights enforcement suits filed by the engineers who
constructed the collapsed six-storey building to stop their planned
trial.
The
engineers— Mr. Oladele Ogundeji and Mr. Akinbela Fatiregun—had filed
two separate suits before Justice Buba seeking an order restraining the
police from inviting, arresting or prosecuting them over the victims’
death.
