SYNAGOGUE: CORONER CANNOT DETERMINE THAT COLLAPSE WAS DUE TO STRUCTURAL FAILURE – Justice Alogba

The coroner’s verdict which recommended the prosecution of the engineer and contractor that handled the collapsed Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) building has been faulted by Justice K.O. Alogba of the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division.

While delivering his ruling on the application for judicial review filed by the lawyers to Registered Trustees of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, Justice Alogba clearly stated that the coroner lacked the powers to recommend the prosecution of the contractors.

It would be recalled that in its verdict of July 8, 2015, the coroner had recommended the prosecution of the contractors that handled the construction of the collapsed building in persons of engineer Akinbola Fatiregun of Hardrock Construction and engineer Oladele Ogundeji.

Justice Alogba equally faulted the finding of the coroner which stated that the collapse of the building was due to structural failure. The judge submitted further that only a civil court could make such findings based on the facts presented before it.

Earlier, Justice Alogba had refused the prayer of the Lagos State Government urging the court to strike out the application for judicial review arguing that it was filed out of time.

Responding to the prayer of the Lagos State Government, Justice Alogba submitted that the application was in order as it was filed within the three months period stipulated by the rules of court.

As it stands, the recommendation by the coroner that the contractors should be prosecuted has been quashed by Justice K.O. Alogba of the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division.

I will comment when I see the source of this information.

I was there. The media won't likely report it because it supports what the church has been saying from the onset. They only want sensational headlines which will indict SCOAN and find the engineers guilty.

I'm in no position to comment on the internal politics at work in this complicated case.

One thing I do know - the way that building fell down was NOT ordinary...

Structural defect? Sabotage? Perhaps we'll never know the whole story.

Tb Joshua 's engineers weren't wrong in any way. When structural failures occur, the buildings don't just sink into the soil like the SCOAN building did.

It was FP when they said TB Joshua must appear in court; now that he's beginning to be exonerated legally, everyone's gone all quiet

"No matter how long a lie is sustained, the TRUTH will someday prevail."

I don't see anything meaning coming out of this case anymore.

Could you please explain what 'ordinary' means.
It is annoying when novices type away nonsense from their keypads and pretend to know better that all the professionals from the various building bodies

The judge faulted structural failure?
What did he ascribe to the collapse, the sci-Fi infrasonic weapon, controlled demolition or mami wata?
