SYNAGOGUE: buildings don’t collapse on papers. Even government structures with adequate approvals have collapsed in the past.
“One of
the provisions of the Coroner Law, 2007, is the provision that empowers
a coroner to commence an inquest to find out the cause and manner of
death which occur in an unusual manner.”
The governor added that consequent upon the collapse building on the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, the state government applied that a coroner’s inquest be commenced into the cause of the tragic deaths.
He
said, “Therefore, the Lagos State Government will cause the prosecution
of the contractor, Akinbela Fatiregun of Hardrock Engineering Company
Limited; and the Structural Engineer, Oladele Ogundeji, who constructed
and supervised the collapsed building, respectively, at the Synagogue
Church of All Nations for professional negligence.”
The
governor added that the government would also prosecute SCOAN for
neglecting to obtain building approval before commencing the
construction of the building, contrary to the provisions of the Urban
and Regional Planning and Development Law, 2010.
He neglected to obtain building approval and you stood watching? hmmmmmmn.
