It looks like Synagogue leader T.B Joshua will be prosecuted by the Lagos State Government over the collapse of his building on September 12th that left more than 115 people dead.
According to Punch, the state government has set up a
coroner of inquest for the purpose of investigating the cause of the building collapse. This was made known in a statement
credited to the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for
Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, on Sunday.
According to the statement, Ipaye had instigated the coroner’s inquest pursuant to Section 15 of the Lagos State Coroner’s System Law No. 7 of 2007.
The coroner of inquest, headed by Magistrate O. A. Komolafe, has been charged with the duty of establishing the cause of the collapse of Synagogue’s six-storey building that killed no fewer than 115 persons.
Ipaye, who spelt out the responsibility of the coroner, said its final submission might necessitate the institution of a criminal charge against the church.
The commissioner was quoted to have said, “The law requires the verdict of a coroner, as certified in writing, to be forwarded to the State Attorney General and such verdict may form the basis of criminal prosecution depending on the evidence collected.
“The coroner in this case is Magistrate O. A. Komolafe, who also sat as coroner in the Dana Air Crash case. He is expected to announce his sitting or visitation schedules and other details and to hold the inquest at the premises of the High Court of Lagos State, Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja.
Source: Punch“In doing this, he (Komolafe) has all the powers of a magistrate to summon and compel the attendance of witnesses, including medical examiners, and require them to give evidence, produce documents or present other relevant materials.”

Sentiments aside, if found guilty after the investigation or whatever they shud be prosecuted.
This is serious
anyichieonyedika32@gmail.com
Well, in my own opinion, Lagos state govt shud carry out investigation first before prosecuting him, bcos the Footage Scoan released dat shows a strange Aircraft fly around the building 4times before it collapsed shows somtin's rily fishy..let dem carry out investigation n know wot actually led to d collape.

Those of you breathing down Linda's neck concerning Tiwa and her husband, are you happy they are having issues? Why do some people wait to see others fail? What joy do you derive when things go wrong with others? There will always be problems in a marriage, it is never smooth sailing.
What you wish others, will surely come your way.

This is a very cheery development...
And Nigerians must be on the watch in making sure that no stone is left unturned in this effort, such that the inquest must be guided with popular goodwill and disallowed from brooking sacred cows...
"Equity favors the vigilant," says one of Equity's maxims...
Aside that TB may be up for a criminal trial at the close of the inquest, I implore families affected by the building collapse to institute a civil class action against TB, which could run coordinately with both the coroner's sitting and the expected criminal trial...
TB must not be allowed to get away with bloodshed without paying heavily for it!!!!!!!

Will he bring the silly plane story to a court of law or is it only for the gullible public? Dude could go down badly if he tries that with learned men and women. His only defense with that crowd is a strong case against the clear negligence here. Did he save on costs by erecting an unsafe building with cheap materials and labor? What is the state's own culpability for allowing the project to move forward?

The Church should be persecuted not just for the building but for interfering in the rescue work NEMA. They kept the rescue team away for days! Perhaps more people would have been saved had the Church thugs allowed rescue to begin immediately.

Hmmmmm. Make I dey look naaa. Rafcherry@yahoo.com
Honestly, I agree that they should prosecute him. Somebody needs to be accountable for those deaths. At least 81 people died!!!!! Those are somebody's mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, etc and if those lives were lost due to the neglect and construction of illegal bulidings, then he must face th full extent of the law. No one is above the law. I live in the U.S. and if he was here, he would be in prison and he would be paying monetary compensation to the victims families for the rest of his lives.
That's good
