Court fixes March 3 for ruling on TB Joshua's suit against coroner's inquest

An Ikeja High Court fixed March 3 for ruling on a suit filed by the Synagogue Church Of All Nations against the ongoing coroner's inquest into its collapsed guest house building.

Justice Lateefa Okunnu reserved the date on Friday after hearing the reply on points of law filed by the church's counsel, Chief Lateef Fagbemi.

The inquest was set up by the Lagos State Government to investigate the Sept.12, 2014 building collapse which killed 116 people, mainly South Africans.

Court fines T.B. Joshua, Synagogue Church N25,000 for delaying hearing of suit against coroner

An Ikeja High Court has awarded N25,000 in cost against the Synagogue Church Of All Nations and its founder, Temitope Joshua, for delaying further hearing of their suit against a Lagos state coroner.

Justice Lateefa Okunnu awarded the cost against the applicants on Tuesday for “wasting the time of the court and tax payers’ money”.

The applicants had sued the coroner, Oyetade Komolafe, and the Lagos State Government, over its ongoing inquest into the collapse of SCOAN guest house.
