Synagogue Building Collapse: TB Joshua Fails To Appear Before Coroner’s Inquest Despite Arrest Threat

Despite the Coroner’s threat to order the arrest of Prophet T. B Joshua if he failed to show up before the Inquest to testify, the cleric has called his bluff, as he failed to appear on Wednesday to testify on the death of 116 people who were killed at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) following a building collapse on September 12.

“The court has the power to summon whoever it deems necessary to assist it,” the Coroner, Oyetade Komolafe had told the hearing last week.

If Joshua had appeared, he would have been questioned over his claim that the building collapsed after an aircraft hovered round the building. Experts have however said the building collapsed due to a stress on its foundations as stories unplanned for were added to the building without reinforcing the foundation.

Responding to questions raised about his client’s whereabouts, Joshua’s lawyer, Olalekan Ojo stated that “The Man of God has not been personally served the witness summons.”

“He was unavoidably absent when the sheriff went for the service. We don’t want the impression to be created that The Prophet is avoiding the court.”

Ojo refused to accept the witness summons on behalf of Joshua, saying he was not authorised to do so, but promised to tell the court when his client would be available.

He also added that the building contractors did not receive their summonses because they could not be identified or located.

The Coroner, Komolafe however said: “We want Prophet Joshua to know that the court is not persecuting anybody but (trying) to find the truth. He should come.

“As a prophet of God that he claims to be, he must not do anything that will make him to be at variance with the law.”

  1. Whether he appear before the panel or not, the fact and truth remain uncovered and unresolved. Those who desire to know the truth about that building collapse if you follow the logic closely will show that there is foul play somewhere.

    To unravel the truth about that building, the aircraft that hovered over the building MUST BE IDENTIFIED. Who is the owner of that aircraft?
    It is obvious that those who planted the device that caused that building to collapse informed the owners of that aircraft of the exact or precise time they will detonate that device to cause the building to collapse. So that aircraft was ready hovering over the building ready to take the picture of the collapse.

    Second question that need to be answered, is there CCTV camera at the crash site?. So the person who posted the video coverage of the collapse should tell us how he or she was able to know the exact or precise time of the collapse?

  2. My question is who is the owner of suspended
    aircraft?
    what effort court and government have done
    to track the evil aircraft and owner,
    so that the owner will tell the court the reasons
    Why his aircraft was flying around the synagogue
    guest house by that time?
