A member of Building Collapse Prevention Guild (BCPG), Mr. Ebenezer Olumide Ologuntoye, Thursday told a Lagos High court, Igbosere that the test carried out on the foundation and bearing of the collapsed building in Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) did not fail soil test.

Ologuntoye stated this while being led in evidence by the counsel to the church, Olalekan Ojo (SAN).

The witness said BCPG is a non-governmental organization interested in reducing incidents of collapse building to the barest minimum and that he got to know about the collapse of SCOAN building when he was selected as a member of the committee saddled with the responsibility of investigating possible cause of the collapsed building.

The Registered Trustees of Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN are facing 110-count of involuntary manslaughter, contrary to section 222 of the criminal law of Lagos State 2011 filed against them by the Lagos State government.

The defendants, Oladele Ogundeji and Akinbela Fatiregun charged alongside their companies, Hardrock Construction and Engineering Company and Jandy Trust Limited.

A fifth defendant, the Registered Trustees of SCOAN is facing a lone count of building without approval.

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

At the resumed hearing of the matter Thursday, the witness who testified before Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo said that when the building collapsed, the BCPG set up a committee and they were asked to look into the possible cause of the collapsed building.

He said that they carried out an analysis on the soil and foundation and discovered that the foundation and the bearing capacity were adequate.

Ologuntoye, a geotechnical engineer, who specializes in soil Investigations, quality and assurance control also, gave an analysis on how the test was conducted at the site of the collapsed building.

The witness said that two tests were carried out with Dutch Comb Machine, and the sample was taken to the University of Lagos Unilag laboratory
“I carried out geotechnical borehole, and took the sample of the soil from top to bottom. Then the samples taken were taken to UNILAG soil laboratory for analysis.

“As a geotechnical engineer, I was expected to investigate what happened to the foundation, the soil on which the foundation stands was okay.

“I investigated the soil using two major equipment, namely: the geotechnical borehole and a dutch -comb, an electrical testing machine. Both equipment were gotten from BCPG.

“Sample of the soil gotten through the borehole test was sent to the University of Lagos Laboratory for analysis while the dutch-comb test result was gotten on the spot of the test and it was signed by all parties at the site.

“The parties that signed the report include representative of SCOAN, Lagos State Material Testing Laboratory and the Corona Court Representative,” he said.

The witness further told the court that he compared and analyzed the result sent by the UNILAG Laboratory with the dutch-comb report.

“My findings on both reports showed that the foundation did not fail and the bearing capacity is adequate.

“I wrote the report on the final analysis of the test carried out on SCOAN and submitted to BCPG.

“The other tests were done in the presence of parties; members of SCOAN, Lagos State testing representative and a representative of the coroner court was also there. There is a meter on the machine which is called Dutch Cone penetration, test and the result was gotten.

“The value got from the machine to know the value of the soil was done at the site, in the presence of the parties and they signed,” the witness said.

The witness also told Justice Lawal-Akapo that he has worked with renowned organizations in Nigeria and the diaspora.

On his work experience, he said he has worked with a Polish company, Naeimor International, Ekiti State Service Local Government Commission, Foundation Development Limited in London Lakeside Park, London among others.

The defence counsel, Olalekan SAN tendered the report of the test to the court and it was admitted into evidence.

Meanwhile, a subpoenaed witness, George Opeoluwa, the president of the BCPG had earlier tendered the report before the court.

Justice Lawal-Akapo thereafter adjourned the matter till May 16, 17 for cross-examination of the witness.

So dis matter still dey ground

After how many years? Naija self....

Well, i dedicate this STC to Apostle Philip Augustine Onyebuchi,
Happy birthday in Advance Sir

Yhshs

Okay. We Don Hear.






Next Pls

Ok na next.

so why the collapse Rituals??

?

Nigeria self, For how years now

Ok

so they trying to say that the church intentionally killed those people for....

It's difficult to believe they ve nt closed this case.

ojun50:
So dis matter still dey ground

That's Nigeria 4u

This matter never die until now?

ok

So much as the physical integrity of The Synagogue may be trusted, it is the spiritual integrity we must never fail to pay attention to.


Which god does TB Joshua really serve?


He said he was born again in his mother's womb.


He addresses himself as Emmanuel and his devotees call him God, the Father.


He says he is God and should be given the honour due to the God of heaven,


He gives out prophecies, words of knowledge and visions, many of which turn out to be false.

"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many".

Matthew 24:11


Which god does Mr Temitope represent?

This is Nigeria...WHR we use bungalow foundation build skyscraper

Satan's agenda can't prevail

Oh, what a failed country called Nigeria! After many years, this matter is still been dragged in court simply because the victims were common people. What a stinking judicial system we parade.

The foundation was properly designed but who sanctioned the decision to add extra floors to the building.

That is the main issue here.

T B JOSHUA PROPHESIED THE ELECTION OF THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN 2015


When the prophecy failed, he tried his best to take down the Youtube video.


This is not the first time Mr Joshua's prophecies have turned out to be false.


A few years ago, he was caught doctoring prophecy videos after the occurrence of the event.


These are NOT the attributes of true prophets of God.

Mr Temitope is part of the MANY deceivers deceiving MANY, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke about.

Warning: God pronounces severe punishments to false prophets and even those who patronize them.

Exactly. They should get very accomplished structural engineers to verify those claims. The existing building's foundation can be adequate based on the structures overall load and the bearing capacity at that depth of their foundation footing. Additional loading by those added floors changes the dynamics of the structure. At what depth would they attain the bearing capacity to withstand the new loading?
I hope the nigerian factor is not playing out here.

The Geotech engr has spoken based on the bearing capacity used in the design of the fdn,the next may be to check the loads used in the design as per the design code used.Member sizes from the design will be checked with the buildings member sizes,same will be done for the concrete grade,reinforcement etc.Before the end of the excercise,the reasons for the collapse will be staring us in the face.

How I wish all of us will put this kind of interest in prosecuting all the Landlords and builders of these collapsed buildings everywhere in the country especially in Lagos.
