Pastor TB Joshua and other trustees of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) will be arraigned before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja on Monday, November 30, 2015over the collapse of a six-story building in the church on September 12, 2014, which led to the death of 116 persons.
A statement by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs of the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Bola Akingbade, confirmed the scheduled arraignment.
Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court in Lagos had earlier dismissed the fundamental human rights enforcement suits filed by the engineers who constructed the collapsed six-storey building in order to stop their planned trial.
The engineers, Oladele Ogundeji and Akinbela Fatiregun will also appear alongside Pastor Joshua before Justice Lawal Akapo.
In a verdict delivered on August 7, 2015, Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe, the Coroner, indicted the engineers and recommended them for investigation and prosecution for criminal negligence.
