koikoi2: When prophet Elijah commanded a lion to tear and eat up little children for calling him names, who sued him?

musKeeto: Sagamite plaetton weigraf jayriginal rationalmind.

Going through the comments on the first page, I think it wouldn't be a hasty conclusion to say this a country full of retards. Can there be any salvation?

Ybholy: million of job will be lost, if synagogue church is closed.

It is one of nigeria highest source of earning from tourism.

It gives aid to the aged ones , the less privileged and so many others .

Please for Gods sake , let the church be <weeping>

jennylove7575: you have a point but taking a close look at this issue without being bias, the issue is very complex...I tried to put myself in his shoes..then I questioned, what if the house I paid contractors to build for me suddenly collapsed and killed people, would I be held responsible because I financed the project? Hmm! Its complex and complicated.

Dragonking:

So it is right for tb joshua to kill innocent people for his own selfish gains even after the LASG closed the guest house initially.

Nigerians like u are just to gullible and simple to face the truth..i trust south africans, they will sue tb joshua to the bones..

charlsecy:
Are you in any way suggesting that the prophet called down the building to kill people?

phransix147: Set of janja smokers... Instead of them to ask for the engineers and person in charge of procurement, you want to arrest T.B Joshua na him build am abi him dey happy as the building fall? I want to ask sef didn't government notice when he was adding those additional floors? Cos I was weary of it now the damage has been done everybody now wants to flex muscles... Insensitive Government! Group agitate for something else pls something like ordering Fashola or GEJ to give me a job.

Chillext: The Vote for Service Initiative, a good governance and human rights advocacy group, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Governor Babatunde Fashola to arrest and prosecute Temitope Joshua, popularly known as T.B Joshua, the founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations.

In a letter dated September 25 and addressed to the Lagos State governor, the group also asked the state government to make public the outcome of its investigation into the cause of the collapsed building.

The group also accused the state government of delaying investigations into the collapsed building based on “the mantra of ‘Touch not my Anointed.’”

“We are Vote for Service Initiative. We like to remind your good office that, it was in this state your attorney general and commissioner for justice prosecuted and convicted Rev. King to death by hanging for (killing) one of his devotees with ignited fire.

“It is also the same attorney general office that prosecuted recently Mr. Arowolo to death by hanging for killing his wife with knife and cudgel, how much more the man that (killed) over 115 souls through criminal negligence and brazen impunity,” the group said.

The letter’s four-point demand also called on Mr. Fashola to issue a public apology to the people of Lagos State for the late implementation of Section 74 of the Physical Planning Law of Lagos State, as well as compensate the victims affected by the incident.

“Failure to which we will be left with no other option than to approach the competent court of jurisdiction for an order of mandamus for your good office to implement the law you signed in 2010 without delay,” the letter added.

A five-storey building inside the church’s premises in Ikotun, Lagos, collapsed on September 12 as three additional floors were being added to the original two-storey structure.

Eight-six dead bodies were recovered from the rubble and 131 rescued, according to the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA.

On Monday, Jeff Radebe, a South African minister, said that 115 people, including 84 South Africans, died in the incident.

Both the Lagos State government and the Nigerian Institute of Building have stated that the church did not get an approval before embarking on fresh construction on the collapsed building.

However, earlier this week, the Lagos State government announced it had suspended investigation into the cause of the building collapse.

Lateef Ibirogba, the state Commissioner for Information, said the outcome of their investigation would be withheld pending the outcome of another committee set up by the federal government.

In their letter, the group described the situation as “laughable,” adding that the Lagos State Law on Regional and Physical Planning and Urban Development 2010 as amended had already spelt out government action after a building collapse.

The section, according to Mr. Ilori, stated that “any collapsed building in the state due to the negligence of owner or developer, such land shall be confiscated by that state through the ministry in charge.”

“In view of the above quoted relevant portion of the law, an attendant fact that the said collapsed building was due to the criminal negligence of the owner/church in charge as represented by the leader Prophet T.B Joshua or his representatives…

“Having clarified from all other relevant agents of the ministry of physical planning like LASBCA, surveyor institutes and others that no record related to approval or otherwise of the collapsed building, it is incumbent on your good office or/and your approved ministry to have implemented the relevant section of the law as stated above,” the letter said.

Project400: Interesting


Someone should also arrest Mr Aliko Dangote for negligence
His Truck drivers are killing our people

omenka: Fashola must step up to the plate and prove his worth on thiis matter otherwse he would surely lose my respect!

assfreak:

Shey na Dangote drive those trucks? U and the people wey like your post suppose get permanent room for Yabaleft.

cococandy: So many ignorant folks everywhere.
Yes he's to be prosecuted. Not the builders.
He's the one who contracted them to buil.
He's the one who failed to get a license to add more floors on the already existing building.
He's the one who'll pay for the mistake.
He doesn't have to go to jail because it's not really a criminal offense.
But he should pay for whatever loss incured by the families of the dead

StOla:

What constitutes a criminal offence?

Is there a law in place that was breached? Is there a jail term attached to such offence?

If a law has been flouted and this eventually leads to non-premeditated deaths, there's a valid charge of involuntary manslaughter - leading to a lengthy jail term.

The law as signed by Fashola in 2010 states that where culpability has been established due to use of substandard material or lack of necessary approvals, then such property stands forfeited to the state government. That a case of involuntary manslaughter is valid here is even underscored by the fact that the site had been sealed up by the relevant agency days before the incident.

I guess someone felt the holy ground of God is beyond the purview of earthly laws.

victorazy:

Shey na TB Josua be the engineer?
U see

nijanigga:
To arrest a thief and a criminal, what risk?

assfreak:

Shey dem no tell TB make him no raise that building?

At least, Dangote dey give him drivers training for institute of transport so no be negligence. But TB wey dem tell sey make him no raise building no hear word. You come dey mention Dangote.

Segunj8:
Those South Africans should shut up already, were they forced here? Or did they complain when dey were receiving their miracles nd cash gifts from the 'man of God'.

justi4jesu: Hmmmm arrest him @ your own risk

lilprinze: Why are they talking about arresting TB Joshua shouldn't they be talking about arresting the engineers and person in charge of procurement,
they want to arrest him as if he was the one who built it.

phransix147

I hope u are educated to an extent so I don't waste my time... If u would listen... TB Joshua can't do that without consulting a structural engineer, am not exonorating him but Bulk of the blame goes to that Engineer that encouraged him and told him its possible to add more floors without considering the fact that its going to be adding more load both dead and live load to the existing structure without adequate support for the more added load... E.g a 5 yrs old carries 10 litre of water on his head comfortably u said since he carried 10 he sud be able to carry 15kg u kept adding till the boy falls due to the fact u have exceeded the max. Load he can carry. Also you can blame the Procurement and Project Manager for not making use of quality building materials or maintaining standard Mix ratio or substituting rod sizes because of negligence or trying to save cost a beam or column earmarked for 32mm high yield in the plan they used 16mm... These are the thing you should know T.B Joshua is no Structural Engineer.

Classyzi
Tb Joshua should not be arrested. He is not a builder, not a structural engineer or architect. Infact, he is an illitrate as far as building a house is concern. When has it become a crime to engage in building a house. So why should one suggest dat he should be arrested. The person dat should be arrested instead is de engineer/contractor dat was doing de constr. 6deckin or whatever, de engr. Should've known what to do to fortify, enhance and strengthen existing foundation before embacking on addition. I presume de engr. Is licenced to build, if dat is true, then de govt and authorities concern should come into de issue for granting licence to quacks. As a matter of fact, Tb Josh should be adequately compensated. Our human right activist should learn to use their wisdom and not luking for opportunities to estort money from people. May de souls of those dat lost their lives in de incidence rest in peace.

Billygee2u:
laughable

victorazy:

He is not the engineer just as Dangote is not the driver. If their was a plan by the church to expand or renovate building, I hope Lagos State has a body incharge for building in Lagos, where were they?

Oya na make Fashola go arrest him na if he no dey fear!
