Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos will today deliver judgment in a suit filed by a lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, seeking to stop the on-going coroner inquest into the collapse of a six-story building on the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).
At the last proceedings, the applicant (Ogungbeje) adopted arguments in support of the suit and urged the court to grant the prayers sought. The state government represented by Kamar Bakare, a senior official with the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, equally adopted the counter-affidavit of the respondents in opposition to the suit.
In the counter-affidavit, the government explained that the inquest into the collapsed building was initiated due to public outcry on the need to investigate circumstances surrounding the death of about 116 people on the 12th of September, 2014, when the said guest house collapsed within the church’s premises.
