Lagos State Ministry of Justice says that the trial of Trustees of the Synagogue Church and the building Engineers contracted to supervise the Church’s collapsed building will commence on Monday, 30th November, 2015.

 

A statement by the Public Relation Officer of the ministry, Mrs Bola Akingbade said the trial will take place at the Ikeja High Court before Justice Lawal Akapo.

 

A Coroner , Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe, had in a verdict ruled that the Synagogue Church and its contractors were essentially negligent in the fatal collapse of a building that killed 116 people in September 12, 2014.

 

The Coroner had recommended to the Lagos State Government that the church be tried.

 

The Church Trustees had however challenged the findings and recommendation of the Coroner at the Federal High Court but the application was dismissed on Monday November 11, 2015 paving the way for the trial to commence.

Youths in Akoko Area of Ondo State have urged their kinsman and founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Pastor T.B Joshua to quickly relocate home in continuation of his pastoral duties.

Besides, they urged the federal government to constitute a high- powered panel to carry out independent investigations on the collapsed guest house at SCOAN.

Arigidi-Akoko in Akoko Northwest local government of the state is the home town of SCOAN founder.

The concerned youths under the aegis of Congress of Akoko Youths(CAY)in a statement signed by its President, Babatunde Momoh and Trustees Chairman, Olanipekun Olugbenga decried the move by some government agents to distort facts by deliberately shifting blames of the saboteurs to the church founder.

The group called for thorough investigations on the alleged assassination attempt on the life of the Pastor.

The Akoko Youths wondered why the state agencies quickly rushed to the press to grant them indicting statements without proper investigation of the incident.

They said “the government should encourage the man of God considering his significance and economic support, charity, employment, international and local aids, scholarship and broken home reconciliation among others.
