The Lagos State government is to arraign in court tomorrow trustees of Synagogue Church and the building engineers contracted to supervise the church’s collapsed building.
Senior Pastor of the church, TB Joshua, is one of the trustees.
They will be arraigned at the Ikeja High court, according to the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Bola Akingbade.
A coroner, Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe, had ruled that the Synagogue Church and its contractors were essentially negligent in the collapse of a building that killed 116 people on September 12, 2014.
The coroner recommended to the State Government that the church be tried.
However, the church trustees challenged the findings and recommendation of the coroner at the Federal High Court but the application was dismissed on Monday November 11, 2015 paving the way for the commencement of trial.
