T.B Joshua asks court to stop coroner inquest investigating his church building collapse

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.
