T.B Joshua Facing Law Suit for collapsed building

 Samuel Ilori, a lagos based legal practitioner  has said that he will sue Temitope Joshua (popularly known as T.B Joshua), the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, accusing him of been responsible for the death of several people after a building collapsed in his church’s premises.

Mr. Ilori on Tuesday said that his group, Vote for Service Initiative, which stands for government accountability and human rights, will pursue the case if the Lagos state government keep lagging behind in prosecuting the preacher.

He stated that he started the campaign that T.B Joshua should be brought to book, that justice must be done over the case.
He also added that  “Because this is not the first time we will have a collapsed building, and this is not the first time that the Lagos State government has confiscated such land and made sure that the developer or the owner of the land face the law.

He demanded that the FG should implement the law and charge TB Joshua for negligence of the law.
As we earlier reported,  a five-storey building inside the church’s premises in Ikotun, Lagos, collapsed on September 12 as three additional floors were being added to the original two-storey structure.

A South African minister, Jeff Radebe, said that 115 people, including 84 South Africans, died in the incident.

Both the Lagos State government and the Nigerian Institute of Building have stated that the church did not get approval before embarking on construction on the collapsed building.
