The coroner, Magistrate O. A. Komolafe, probing the cause of the September 12 Synagogue building collapse has said the appearance of the church’s founder, Prophet T.B. Joshua, will be re-scheduled when the court reconvenes on Thursday.
Komolafe stated this at the Wednesday proceeding of the court following the announcement by the church’s lawyer, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, that Joshua had yet to receive any summons to appear before the coroner.
Joshua, who had been slated to appear before the coroner on Wednesday along with the contractor who built the collapsed six-storey building, did not make an appearance.
And speaking for them, the church’s lawyer, Ojo, told the court that neither the prophet nor the contractor had received any invitation from the court.
He said he saw the need to set the record straight in order not to cause confusion and following a warning by the magistrate that the instrumentality of the law would be invoked against any invited witness who fails to appear.
