T.B Joshua asks court to stop coroner inquest investigating his church building collapse

The founder of the Synagogue Church of All
Nations, Prophet T.B. Joshua yesterday asked the
Lagos state High Court 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 Sept.
12th which killed 116.
T.B Joshua, who filed the appeal through his
counsel, Olalekan, Ojo, 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, through his counsel, asked
the coroner 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.
