Prophet
T.B. Joshua, founder and General-overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations,
yesterday asked the Lagos state High Court sitting in Ikeja, to stop
proceedings of the coroner inquest set up by the Lagos state govt to look into
the circumstances that led to his church's building collapse on September
12th, 2014.in which116 lives were lost.
The appeal he
filled through his counsel, Olalekan Ojo, T.B Joshua also asked the court to declare that his invitation to appear as a
witness before the coroner was a breach of his right to fair hearing, as no
case had been established against him before the coroner.
T.B
Joshua who was supposed to appear before the coroner yesterday, also asked the
coroner through his counsel to suspend proceedings pending the outcome of the
case he just filed against it which is to be called up for hearing on December
3rd.
The coroner, Magistrate O.A. Komolafe however declined his request saying no one had served him court document to that effect.
