Synagogue Building Was Constructed Without Govt Approval -- Engineer

Aconsultant engineer, Mr Oladele Ogundeji, who supervised the
construction of the collapsed building belonging to the Synagogue
Church of All Nations (SCOAN) yesterday said the building was
constructed without approval by the government. This was as the
coroner's court investigating the incident admitted the amended
architectural and structural designs of SCOAN's building as exhibit.

Ogundeji informed the court that the said building did not collapse
due to structural defects. He stated that the certified designs were
sufficient to commence the project while his client's (SCOAN) were
responsible for processing the permit. The inquest presided over by Mr
Oyetade Komolafe was instituted by the Lagos State Government to
unravel the cause of the September12, 2014 collapse of SCOAN building.
