Synagogue: Court adjourns ruling to Nov 9

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday fixed November 9 to rule on a suit by an engineer of the Synagogue Church, Mr Akinbela Fatiregun, seeking enforcement of his rights.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the suit, which was earlier fixed for ruling on a preliminary objection, was adjourned following the absence of the trial judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba.
The court registrar announced to counsels that the court would not be sitting for the day.
No reason was given for the adjournment.
A new date, November 9, was therefore, fixed for the ruling.
A guest house within the premises of the Synagogue Church collapsed on September 12, 2014, leading to the death of over 100 persons.
Following the collapse, the Lagos State Government set up a coroner’s inquest to ascertain the cause of death.
The inquest, presided over by Chief Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe, in its verdict, indicted the church for criminal negligence and recommended that it be prosecuted.
The coroner also indicted the church’s structural engineers, Mr Akinbela Fatiregun and Mr Oladele Ogundeji, and recommended that they be investigated and tried for criminal negligence.
Fatiregun filed the suit to challenge the verdict of the coroner’s court.
