The collapsed building, Prophet T.B. Joshua

Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe on Wednesday said TB Joshua is not above the law while reacting to the church’s counsel, Lateef Fagbemi’s suggestions as to inviting those who can be of assistance from the SCOAN.

According to Vanguard report, Komolafe who said if TB Joshua cannot come to court should give an explanation stated:
“The court has the power to summon whoever it deems necessary to assist it,” The counsel should advise the Prophet to come. The church is not on trial. It’s not a matter of ego. Nobody is above the law. The court will be fair to all.“If he is an institution with immunity, the court will not even go there. If the man refuses to come, he can be arrested… He has to appear. We summoned The Prophet. We summoned the contractors.”

On September 12 a guest house belonging to the Synagogue church collapsed which killed no fewer than 115 people including 84 South Africans who were present at the time of the tragedy.
Following the collapse of the Synagogue guest house, several groups have called for the arrest and trial of T.B Joshua.

Although the building inspectors attributed the addition of extra floors to the guesthouse, without strengthening the foundations, as the likely cause of the collapse.

Prophet TB Joshua as since reacted to the building collapse saying  a low-flying aircraft was responsible for the collapse, however saying: “Hard times may test me, they cannot destroy me.” In few weeks the truth behind the collapsed building will be revealed”.

Proophet TB Joshua will testify at the inquest on November 5.
