A verdict on the causes of a church building collapse in Nigeria’s financial hub Lagos will be issued next month, the coroner probing the tragedy said.....
Oyetade Komolafe had previously said he would give his ruling in mid-March but now says he will give his judgement before the scheduled change in local and national government on May 29 following elections in April.
“We have had enough (witnesses). This inquest has come to an end. The court will not allow for additional evidence,” he said, adding that final submissions from lawyers would be heard next week.
“If possible, the verdict will be in May. I don’t want this inquest to extend to another regime.”
The inquest into the September 12 collapse of a guesthouse of popular Nigerian preacher and televangelist TB Joshua began in October last year.
