TB Joshua to appear before panel next week as regards building collapse

Following the collapse of  a building belonging to the Synagogue Church of All Nations, The Lagos state government has set up a committee to look into the cause of the collapse of the building. This panel is set to start meeting as from Monday 13th october  at the Lagos State High court ikeja, and it has been revealed that all parties involved have been summoned prior to the commencement of the investigations.

According to PM NEWS:

All the parties involved have been summoned to appear before the panel when it begins sitting. It will be recalled the building collapse caused a controversy following claims and counter-claims as to the cause.
The state government has partly hinged the collapse on building agents who did not get approval to erect the structure, adding that, it was due to structural deficit as the building was originally a two-storey building.

TB Joshua had made several claims that the building was demolished with explosives. He also blamed an aircraft that hovered over the building four times as a possible cause for the collapse. His church also stated that the collapsed building was approved for 12-storey and as such, the structure was strong enough.

It was on the strength of the controversy that the state government set up a panel to actually find out the cause of the collapse.
