On Wednesday, a coroner threatened Prophet TB Joshua with arrest if the popular pastor failed to give a testimony at an inquest into the deaths of 116 people at his church.
The coroner, yetade Komolafe, dismissed arguments from Joshua's lawyers who said the prophet did not need to be summoned seeing as he did not directly witness the September 12 tragedy.
A total of 84 South Africans were among the dead when a guesthouse for foreign followers at Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) collapsed in Lagos.
Joshua, known to members of his church as “The Prophet” or “The Man of God”, has indicated that sabotage was to blame and linked the collapse to a low-flying aircraft seen in the area at the time.
“The court has the power to summon whoever it deems necessary to assist it,” Komlafe told the hearing in the city.
“The counsel should advise The Prophet to come. The church is not on trial. It’s not a matter of ego. Nobody is above the law. The court will be fair to all.
