Joshua, has been summoned by the Coroner investigating the cause of
the collapsed building at the church premises.
Coroner Magistrate, Oyetade Komolafe, issued the summons at the
resumed hearing of the inquest on Friday at the Lagos High Court
sitting in Ikeja.
Prophet Joshua is to appear before the inquest on Wednesday, November
5, to tell the coroner what he knows about the cause of the collapsed
building.
The building contractor is also expected to testify on the same day.
The Coroner also directed the Synagogue Church to provide the list of
all the people lodged at the building before it collapsed.
About 115 people were reportedly killed in the incident that occurred
on September 12.
Two people, however, testified before the coroner on Wednesday.
A Chief Operational Officer with the Lagos State Fire Service, Musiliu
Adebayo, told the inquest that the building collapse was not caused by
an explosion, while a zonal head of the Lagos State Traffic Management
Authority, LASTMA, Mr Bamidele Oladiti, said that his men were on
ground after the incident to manage human and vehicular traffic.
The South African High Commissioner, who was also at the hearing, said
that the Synagogue incident had not affected the relationship between
Nigeria and South Africa.
