A Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday ruled that the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua appears in court following the recent collapse of his building which left about 116 persons dead.Prophet TB Joshua is billed to testify on November 5 at the ongoing coroner’s inquest.The Judge, Ibrahim Buba, turned down the request of a Lagos-based lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje who had sought an interim injunction restraining Mr. Joshua from appearing before the coroner.According to the judge, Ibrahim Buba: “If Ogungbeje was the party summoned before the coroner, then the issue of a restraining order will arise, but in this situation, how can I restrain the whole world?”.
“The applicant has not shown that he will suffer any danger if the restraining order is not granted, and so, I will hear this case on merit on Thursday, November 6, and I will not grant any restraining order. This is the ruling of the court.”
Apparently it was reported last week that the coroner had threatened Prophet TB Joshua with an arrest if he fails honour the invitation of the court and show up.
