Following the recent incident of a collapsed building within the premises of the
Synagogue Church of All Nations at Ikotun Egbe, Lagos, a Coroner’s Inquest has
been instituted under the Lagos State Coroner’s System Law No. 7 of 2007 for the
purpose of establishing the cause and manner of the incident and the several
deaths that followed.

The inquest was instigated by the State Attorney General & Commissioner for
Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, under section 15 of the Coroner Law which provides that a
Coroner shall hold an inquest whenever he is informed that the death of a
deceased person lying within his Coroner District was as a result of a violent,
unnatural or suspicious occurrence.

The Coroner has extensive powers to investigate the cause and circumstances of
death and bring his findings and recommendations to the attention of appropriate
authorities. In doing this, he 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.

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
prosecutions 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/visitation
schedules and other details and to hold the inquest at the premises of the High
Court of Lagos State, Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja.

I hope they are able to do their job thoroughly and without any bias, and also prosecute those who are found culpable in that unwarranted loss of innocent lives.
Though it came late, but it is better late than NEVER.
