Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola has been given seven days by a
Human rights group to arrest the founder of The Synagogue Church of All
Nations, Prophet T.B. Joshua.
This is in reaction to the tragic collapse of a 6 storey guest house
belonging to the Synagogue church in which 115 people were said to have
lost their lives. Continue...
The group, Vote for Service Initiative, a good governance group has
in a letter dated September 25 and which was forwarded to the Lagos
State governor demanded the government make the outcome of its probe
into the collapse of the SCOAN guest house public.
The group also accused the administration of delaying the probe 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.
They later demanded that Fashola apologizes to Lagosians for the late
implementation of the the Physical Planning Law of Lagos State, and as
well, compensate the victims.
“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.
