A judge dismissed a bid by two contractors on Monday to stop their trial for criminal negligence over a building collapse at a Nigerian megachurch that killed 116 worshippers, most of them South Africans.

Oladele Ogundeji and Akinbola Fatiregun challenged their prosecution over the tragedy at pastor TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos in September 2014.
Judge Lateef Lawal-Akapo, dismissed the defendants’ appeal for the case to be dismissed, saying in the Lagos High Court it had “no merit”.
Both are due to appear with Joshua on February 18 to be charged, despite another legal challenge from the popular televangelist and preacher.
Joshua repeatedly refused to give evidence at an earlier coroner’s inquest, despite multiple court summonses.
He suggested the collapse was caused by a mysterious “hovering” aircraft seen over the building before the tragedy.
The coroner attributed the collapse to the unauthorised addition of extra floors to the guesthouse on the sprawling church compound. – AFP

  1. Since you can’t even write Silas right, it is clear that you use scripture to compare true murderers.
    Tell me, did God command TB Joshua to build illegal hostel ? And that without building permit ?
    How is that comparable with Paul and Silas ? Did they build illegally ? Did they do it against the Roman occupier coming from Rome ?
    Was Paul not brought to Rome and killed there ? And Peter hung upside down on the cross ? How about the beheading of John the Baptist ?
    How did God fight for them ? Let me clarify. If it is your end, it is your end. No God will defend you then anymore. You will be dead. Or go to jail. How many missionaries are being beheaded by ISIS ? Does God fight them ? The only fight you see is bombing.
    TB Joshua is fighting by legal defense, why ? Is it because he has done something that he should not have done ? Does money have to answer all problems ? Did TB Joshua not tell us if you have court case leave it all up to God ? Why is he then fighting so hard to stop and quash it all ? What are you thinking ?
    Sunshine you have no clue, you just are a idolater as so many are. Because of gain. What about justice for the martyr ? Has TB Joshua already pointed out who did it and can he bring them with him to court with his “morning water” ? Clearly not.
    What about his false prophecy of:
    #Boko Haram
    #MH370
    #Chibokgirls
    #Ebola
    Can we just get it all right ? Is somebody like him above the Law of the Land ? Nobody is above the law with:
    Involuntary Manslaughter
    and
    Manslaugther by gross negligence
    Can murderers now buy themselves out ? With money, with court cases, with making themselves favourite online and giving themselves reward for their actions or even resisting Court orders, hiding, deceiving and pervert the Course of Justice ?
    Does the defendant not owe duty to the deceased to take care ?
    And has the defendant not breached this duty ?
    And the breach caused the death of the deceased ?
    And that the defendant’s negligence was gross, that is, it showed such a disregard for the lives and safety of others as to amount to a crime and deserve punishment ?
    Should people who do things illegally in the Name of God get off the hook ? Really ? Who would you want God to fight for that ? Which God is telling prophets to build illegally and without building permit ? Which God ? I only know Satan that does that. Only Satan does everything illegal and without building permit.
