The founder and General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations(SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua, is to appear before the coroner, Mr Oyetade Komolafe, sitting at the Ikeja High Court, Lagos State on November 5. He is to appear along with the contractor in charge of the collapsed building that killed more than 150 people, 82 of them South Africans. Komolafe, during the sitting of the court on Friday, stated that the appearance of the church’s founder was important to the findings of the court.
Though, SCOAN’s counsel, Mr. Jude Nnadi (SAN), argued that the appearance of the pastor would not be necessary as he was not an eyewitness, Komolafe insisted that Joshua must appear. The coroner, who said he had heard that Joshua had addressed the press at various times, said the pastor must also appear before the court to give evidence. In Komolafe’s words, “We have heard that he has been addressing the press at various times, let him come and address the court. The court has summoned him; let him come and tell us what he knows. He cannot sit over there and be sending words to us that he cannot come. The court has said that for the purpose of what we are doing, that he should come over”.
