Justice Lateefa Okunnu of a Lagos High Court on Friday dismissed an application filed by the Synagogue Church of All Nations and its founder, Prophet Temitope Joshua against the Coroner’s Inquest investigating the collapse of a six-storey building belonging to the church.

The judge dismissed the application, which was seeking to halt the ongoing coroner’s inquest into the collapsed guest house for being premature and lacking in merit.

The Lagos State Government inaugurated the Coroner’s Inquest under the state Coroner’s System Law No.7 of 2007 to investigate the cause and circumstances resulting in the death of 166 people following the building collapse of September 12, 2014, and bring its findings and recommendations to the appropriate authorities.

The coroner’s inquest presided over by Chief Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe had summoned Prophet Joshua alongside others to appear before it to testify in the ongoing inquest.

But instead of appearing as summoned, T.B Joshua and his church instituted a suit against the coroner’s court and the presiding Magistrate, Komolafe, seeking a judicial review of the coroner’s inquest into the September 12, 2014 collapse.

They should try and settle out of court, they have the money.

If his hands are clean, why did he file an application to stop further investigation into the activities of his synagogue?

I am happy with the Court's ruling so far.

Let's see how it spins out.
